Football Friday Nights

Last night I went to my high school football game--the old alma mater. I love going to the home games and cheering on "the boys." I was feeling a little nostalgic this morning so I wrote a little poem.

Friday Night Lights

A sea of red and black

Fall

Cheerleaders dance and the band plays

At my hometown football game.

Loyal alumni crowd the stands

There's a line at the ticket gate.

Pre-game warmup

The time is almost here

Where on the field where the

boys of fall meet their fate.

A coin is tossed

And lines are drawn on the grid iron.

Go get 'em boys!

Hike! Push, run, crawl, score!

"Let's go Raiders!"

"Defense."

"Come on!?"

"Go baby, go baby! Go!"

Peanuts, get your peanuts!

50/50 tickets

What did the announcer say?

Just another Friday Night at

a hometown football game.
