Saint Joe’s Kicker (Flash 55)
St. Joseph’s couldn’t gain ground that stormy day, post-hurricane.
Fear of canceled Homecoming ended. However, superstition states rivals still battle.
4th Quarter…. Fat muddy coach screams, spikes playbook,
“Field Goal Team get out there!”
Gold and black, Steeler-like jersey, bobbling-Titan helmet—130 lbs. sophomore kicker trots to the 40.
Hike… fumbled snap…. It’s up… and…
No good.

I read all of that for the “HUGE” let down at the end? I think this Flash 55 approach was designed with you in mind. I love what you come up with.

a good job , well done adam!
June 15, 2010 at 8:34 am
thank you, wordwand.
June 15, 2010 at 8:34 am
LOL Huge let down… that’s usually how I feel when I sit down to watch a sporting event with too much hype and way too many commercials interrupting the flow of the game. On a good note, I am enjoying the World Cup very much 🙂
Thanks, Leslie

You reminded me of occassional disappointment caused by indian cricket team 🙂
cute one (I dont watch sports much other than tennis, gymnastics etc).
June 15, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Hi trisha! I do watch the tennis majors final matches. The Indian cricket team only loses occasionally—wow, that’s pretty good! 🙂

Thanks 🙂 I tired to sound like an announcer on this one, Heartspell. I’m certain ESPN will not be calling me. lol

You brought us right in the center of the action, great job!
June 15, 2010 at 1:41 pm
