It’s the last long weekend before Christmas and it’s such a dismal day
This pattern is to continue until Tuesday before it goes away
The leaves in the yard are continuing to pile up as well
Will the trees be bare after this weekend? Only time will tell
The weather has affected so many things for this very reason
Our local carousel and mini-train have been shut down for the season
The farmer’s market must be suffering for customers today
It’s so sad to see their last outdoor Saturday finish in this way
The mini heat wave we were experiencing has finished its late run
We may even have to kick in the furnace before this weekend’s done
What can we do now that we are forced to stay indoors?
Raking the leaves in my yard will become a midweek chore
I thought I would be watching “Blue Jay” baseball, but sadly that’s not the case
I still can’t believe “Guerrero” got picked off on second base!
The CFL has a game on Saturday and another Monday afternoon
The playoffs and the “Grey Cup” will be following soon
You can eat breakfast and watch a NFL football game on Sunday
Set the alarm in case because it’s nine thirty am when they play
This is the second game from England to be broadcasted live
The number of matches they play there will total five
So NFL football will be on from morning to night
That’s why Saturday morning was the time I chose to write
You see I plan on taking full advantage of watching all these events
If I am forced and stuck inside it only seems to make common sense
Take in all the action and have a “Thanksgiving” meal
This is a combination that never loses its appeal
CFL football Monday afternoon, NFL Monday night
To someone who enjoys sports, this just works out right
This will consume a lot of energy but I’m in it for the long haul
I will probably be totally exhausted after watching all that football
Yet still I will be too excited to sleep for one single reason
Come Tuesday afternoon, the NHL starts its regular “hockey” season
