Hypnotically entranced before the sacred alter,
he murmured in a slow inaudible tone.
He rocked in a rhythmic pattern
as family members leaned in
to try to make sense
of what they perceived
as a meticulous mantra.
Finally someone said,
“Would you please
step away from the television?
College football season doesn’t start until Saturday.”

Ha..ha.. that time of the year again.
Thankfully no one here is a fan of that sport.
Happy friday!
I loved the rocking in rhythmic pattern--this usually precedes the cusswords in rhythmic pattern. Your clown on the golf cart was pretty rockin too--no shock there on the attire--I've seen some of em dressed in clothes that would be over the top on Bozo.
Oh I'm with you brother!!!
We have a freakin 3:30 Kickoff.
Loved your 55 KP
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End...
LOL. Feel like you're missing the game?
Luckily I've never had to witness this in person -- but I've heard stories... :)
This is one of the very few times I'm glad I'm single. :)
Thanks for another Friday 55.
Mine's here. :)
no football, no, no football!
Not my cup of TV Tea, football...
I was sure you were watching Big Brother and the mantra was "Would someone please kick Shelley off already!"
But college football. Works too.
uugg thankfully the preferred sport around here (motorcycle racing) is almost over. Now I can have my husband back. :P
Hah! Great! Oh, and I bet that those people won't ask him to step aside in those civil tones once the season has begun. :)
Football! Either side of the pond it takes over.
lolss
This was "playfully" nice!
hugs xo
altar eh ? well well-I am still stuck somewhere between firewood pile and the garden! thanks !
Withdrawal is almost over... drafted the fantasy team last night. How long will this Stupid Friday last....
WANT... FOOTBALL...!!!
Ooohhmmmm.....
Time for doing my crafts while the hubby watches every football game that is on.
I'm counting the minutes!
Boomer Sooner!
Maybe he was watching "Sex and the City" In close-up??
Hahaha... made me giggle out loud~!
Wow, a year goes fast.
I was thinking this was about a groom at the altar. And I guess in a way it is -- married to the sport. :)
oh lord, men!
I've an early 160 HERE
a soup opera would hook a fan as well.
witty play on 55.
thanks for sharing.
Very well written 55..here its cricket that has men in my family praying to all the Gods that exist.
Very nice and written like a true sports fan. Not so much into sports at our house, although I used to watch college basketball.
Typical! ;-)
LOL We all have our TV addictions. :) Very, very funny.
