Stopping in his tracks,
he lifts his heads
and sniffs the air.
The smell excites him.
Adrenaline shifts into high gear.
Senses heightened,
a feeling of tremendous anticipation
washes over him
and stirs the beast within.
He knows this comforting
yet exhilarating feeling
happens every year
about this time.
Football season is around the corner.

ha. it is almost football season which mean there will be a nip in the air and fall will be here...ahh...
nice 55 monkey...hope you are having fun out there...
There was a time when I would have absolutely nothing to do with football. I was very anti.
Then my son played flag football, I learned what was happening out there on the field and today I like the game.
Liked this 55 though I'm not a compulsive football fan like some are.

Oh yea, I'm with you partner. On target with your 55
I love football! Can't wait :) orange leaves = football time to me!
Got My Season Tickets in the mail this week...Ahhhhhhhhh.
Excellent 55 Brother.
Thanks for the grin, and have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
Football to me, is Soccer, and the 2010/11 season is about to kick off.
And here I was thinking it was another werewolf saga! :D Love the fall...not the football.
I'm so excited for football season to start. WOOT. Very well done my friend :) Have a great Friday :)
I for one, am not excited for football season.... That marks the END of summer. :(
But, for those of you who LOVE football, I'll be excited for you all.

Yep, the sports talk stations are really picking up on it more and more, and talking about baseball less and less.
ha- ha - nice one! men and football - yeah!
mine is about a beast as well..
Jeez I thought that feeling was my once a year sex was about to happen. Damn that football, now she'll be distracted all fall and winter.
Now of course you mean soccer and not that wannabe rugby game you Americans play. Smiles and tiptoes away. If you want to hear (yes hear!) or read my Friday 55 Flash fiction then click here. Hope you have a good weekend!

Oh dear, oh dear! Already? Just heard an interview on Brian May and We Will Rock You...the anthem has nothing to do with football, I fear.
Makes me wonder what he smelled. Nice 55!
Hell, yeah!
Ah, the great adrenaline of football... I think it's called testosterone too. o_O
Awesome work! ;)
The friendly war begins... Good 55
Could summer have gone by so quickly? I may be in India for six months, starting in Nov - I wonder if I will catch any American football there? Soccer fever, instead, I suppose.
I should forward your 55 to my three sons but, goodness, I don't want to get them started any earlier!
hehehe...all sortsa ideas flashed into my head... pheww.. silly me!
I should have known it was Football!! :)
A good suspenseful read :)
