Football Friends
Pigskin spirals through the air
Four hands reach for the prize
Strength and concentration dare
Make intended fingers rise
Cheers erupt from the crowd
A spin, a turn, and a dive
Bleachers growing quite loud
Players celebrate the drive
Watching eyes filled with glee
Pizza, beer, snacks, and friends
All excited to see
Victory streak extends
High fives, smiles, and laughter
Toasts to the team
Wins we all are after
Chasing a dream
Bellies filled with food
Plans for next week
Seeking a good mood
Great time to speak
Friends enjoy the game
Stories shared, full of zest
Glad company came
Good times had, are the best!
