The Waiting Game

I will not have time to blog today. You see, I had completely forgotten about renewing my driver's license. It expires tomorrow. So I shall queue up, first thing this morning, with everyone else in the same predicament, and commence playing the waiting game. I hope to be able to get out in 5 hours...

(please pray for my sanity and patience)

Flash Friday 55: Are You Ready?

Are you ready for some football?

Preseason follies (fleecing):

where NFL demands

regular ticket prices

for games,

in the grand scheme

of the season,

don’t even matter.

Players risk serious injury

trying to score

coveted title:

NFL pro.

Pity to those cut…

woe to those deemed

practice squad material.

Still we watch…

Pass the peanuts.

I’m telling!

About what?

You peed! Mama said no peeing in the pool!

I didn’t pee IN the pool,

I peed NEXT to it!

Oh gross!

At least I didn’t toot!
