My ode to the upcoming March Madness Extravaganza…my favorite sporting event bar none:

Twere the days before Madness, when all through the place

All eyes were on roundballs, and shoes that would lace

The arenas were quiet, awaiting the throng

In hopes that hoops fans would soon be there strong

Men and women in offices, and towns all around

Were filling out brackets, wondering which upsets would abound

Getting chips and drink ready for the multi week thrill

I began to settle in my chair asking all around me to chill

The ball will soon be held, large men will soon leap

March Madness will be here hence, Patience I can hardly keep

Away to the plasma, the LED, the DP

Can’t wait till CBS announces the brackets on TV

But wait I must since the first ball has not been tossed

Soon enough, I will be in my element, no matter the cost

So pick your 1’s and 2’s in your office pool games

But give me the buzzer beaters, games won by no-names

That’s the beauty of this great tourney, every year brings feats rare

A championship event, none others compare!
