March Madness....A Poem

I did a little something for today's post that I NEVER do.....I wrote a little poem in honor of today's momentous occasion: The beginning of the 2015 NCAA Basketball Tournament (for anyone living under a rock)  I am not a poet, nor an I a huge fan of poetry, but this one just felt right and the process was no nearly as painful as I thought it would be.  So without further ado:

March Madness 

 (to the tune of It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year [obviously])

It's the most wonderful time of the year,

With buzzers a-sounding,

Hearts will be pounding,

And the crowd, they will cheer!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

It's the hap-happiest season of all.

With trash talking greetings and tense pre-game meetings,

And can you believe they just missed that call?!

It's the hap-happiest season of all!

There'll be brackets for posting

and experts a-boasting

their bracket picks are second to none.

There'll be elaborate stories 

And tales of the glories

Of tournaments long long ago.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

There'll be much basketballing and a good bit of fouling

When the game is on the line!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

There'll be mascots a-cheering

Cinderella's appearing, 

Shocking everyone but their own fans.

There'll be bands playing fight songs

And fans up all night long, 

To make sure they get their team through!

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

There'll be heroes emerging and team spirit overflowing,

When the Final Four is near!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Even better than bowl season time of the year!

The absolute BEST time of the year!
