Poetry: Thanksgiving Day football

by Mark Hurley

Created on: November 13, 2009

thanksgiving day screams and chants


thanksgiving day screams and chants

the teams are on the field we watch

and stand to the national anthem

the only time this game will be quiet

kick off an uncle throws an elbow

into my side and laughs fumble

my plate tips and gravy on the floor

without a blink or sorry another laugh

fumble he shouts and pokes again

i laughed with him it was ok this day

carpet cleaner and paper towels

will get the gravy right out today

and as my team scores the last points

i will throw him the towel fumble
