The Day It all Started…

A Little Fun with NCAA Basketball

I had a dream it was football season again, woke up to 6″ of melting snow from our recent 14″ dump, and the Pacific Northwest’s requisite winter rain, realized not only was it NOT football season, but it was only February. Then, I had a vision….

There was orange all around me, everywhere I could see, though I didn’t quite take it seriously. As of course you might know, since it wasn’t yellow, that I didn’t have to get up and pee!

My vision continued curiously
Orange as far as the eye could see
In the middle of the night, you may imagine the fright
The hue blazed a swath to Tennessee!  

Now, I was smothered for a moment in sadness
But I smiled in a warm wrap of gladness
for I still dream of football, but confess to you all
We’re fast approaching March Madness!

I suppose it’s not odd, with winter’s squalls,
that indoor arenas break out basketballs.
There’s a game on today, at five out our way 
And we’ll watch, and we’ll yell: GO VOLS!!
