March Madness

8AM Sunday Melinda McKaskey Jones LOL... ' bout sums it up!

4AM Sunday Dennis McKaskey Thanks for clearing that up. A few stanzas came to mind in response to such 'madness'....

MARCH MADNESS

So... my bracket is broken.
I will take that as a token
That I should not play
This game any more.

My coaches are shameless.
Their players claim to be blameless,
And the cheerleaders always
Seem to fall on the floor.

So I will return to my roots
Despite the fan's disputes.
It will be good to hike in the woods...
And so I will head out the door.
Dad

Hahaha!! Good one Dad! I'll explain since I know your truly speaking the truth! March Madness is upon us which is a college Basketball tournament. As the losing teams are eliminated the winning teams advance to play each other. The final four teams played today.. Two teams won and play Monday Univ. of North Carolina and Villanova. The "bracket" is really a write out of who your best guess if the winning teams are as they advance. Typically you fill it out before the tournament starts. Most people bet on them or do an office pool. I fill it out just for fun! Just never got around to it. Last year my two teams making it to the Finals was UNC and Villanova with UNC winning the Championship . (Which I think will happen this year... But Villanova is good too!!) anywhoo... Its College Basketball.. And North Carolina has a team in the Finals this a good thing! smile emoticon
I do have to add my "bracket" last year was not a winner, hence why it would've been good to rerun this year.

uh...what...is...a...bracket, and why are you talking about it? Is it a new medical test of some sort? I hope it was good news. Do they make you take medication? Is it contagious? What are the after-effects?

TOPIC #7 TEXTING GRANDPA

Texting Grandpa

 

 

Each little finger, using the phone

Texting with Grandpa, who today is alone.

 

Grandma is off helping someone in need

She is always on the go, she uses her speed.

 

To help every person who crosses her path

She is so quick, she must do it with math!

 

She cannot bring Grandpa while she’s well on her way

"He’d be a distraction, He’d make me delay"

 

So she’s out and about,

Grandma’s helpful no doubt…

 

Grandpa, on the other hand

Is probably thinking of something GRAND!

 

But maybe, just maybe, he might feel some sad

Perhaps I can do something to help him feel GLAD.

 

I think that my Grandpa can use some help

So I’ll give him a topic that will make him yelp!

 

Tapping the letters, one at a time.

Hoping he’ll read them, then make a rhyme,

 

To make me feel so happy,

My Grandpa has always been snappy,

 

Composing rhymes that sound so goofy,

Making sounds that seem so spoofy.

 

He does not plan the rhymes you know.

We assign him a topic and let him go.

 

He sits there with a funny face

The words come running out in a great big race.

 

He writes them down as fast as he can

He just writes them quickly… without any plan.

 

As the verses are written, sometimes he is smitten

By the clever twists and turns

 

The poem happens and it sometimes makes

Him wonder why it always takes

 

A grandchild or someone small

To cause his brain to think at all.

 

Regardless of the reason why

We have some fun and always try

 

To give Grandpa topics that will keep us clappin’

And give him topics that will make poems happen.

 

He makes them work, he makes them flow.

Grandpa loves me, THAT…I…KNOW!
