I haven't been able to post a whole lot due to the newborn, but a couple things you might have gathered about me - I love fantasy football and I love writing poems. So, while I was at work I thought I would combine the two and came up with this. This poem will probably mean a little more to those of you who have played fantasy football, but hopefully you all will enjoy.
Fantasy Football
Ahh the wild fantasy season is in full swing
Giving it my all, trying to win some bling
This season I went big with 5 total teams
It's really not as bad as it seems
It all starts Tuesdays with the waiver wire
Go through each league and get who I desire
Wednesdays I figure out who will start
Who's boom or bust? Who stands apart?
But it's only a rough draft you see
So much news will come to be
Injuries are crucial and can screw me fast
I know some guys will never last
If they don't play Thursday, it's not a big deal
But if they do you gotta see how they feel
Friday and Saturday are pretty slow
But Sunday mornings I get up and go
Double check injuries and tweek a little more
Now I wait for a big score
The day is a roller-coaster of emotions
Up and down like the oceans
Stupid Qb with another pick
Running back goes down, oh that's sick
Another concussion for my receiver
I really thought he would deliver
Kickers are stupid, why do we use them?
It's so rare to find the solid gem
Tight ends are always so up in the air
There's three good ones, so why should I care?
My defense has a good match-up this week
Oh, negative points? That's unique
So maybe there's more lows than highs
But who knows, maybe I'll still win a prize
There's still hope for Monday night
I only lost by 50, what a fight….
Hopefully y'all enjoyed that, it was definitely fun to write. I realized I could probably do more specific poems based on my match-ups, so maybe that will be something I try. I am always up to take suggestions for poems - literally about anything (ideally sports related since this is Scorum). Let's hear some ideas in the comments!
Thanks for reading and have a super Friday!
