CELEBRATION SHOWER

CELEBRATION SHOWER

Roger A. Davis

Football Bowl Game watchers, I have a bone to pick
Dumping of the Gatorade is starting to make me sick
The networks must think it is worthy of camera time
So here is a ‘Does anybody feel like me?’ rhyme

Coach on the players’ shoulders, please carry
This would make me more merry
Do away with midfield handshake
Coaches’ ‘Good Game’ is such a fake

In college, the cooler baptism is lame
Especially in a blowout game
More like teenage pranks
Than ‘Hey, Coach, thanks’

Even in the NFL, it takes place
Madden does a play-by-play of it, that’s a sad case
More camera attention to cheerleaders, if you may
It would make a better Sunday

Email the networks, you armchair quarterbacks
And we couch defense linebackers will send mail sacks
To get a switch in camera priority
TV fans should have the ultimate authority
