Poem 222: Sport Trifecta

Yesterday I was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do

My plan was to watch two football games and a hockey match before my day was through

The schedule wasn’t going my way with them being a few hours apart

The “Buffalo Bills” playing the “New York Jets” had the earliest start

The “Grey Cup” championship of the “CFL” featuring “Winnipeg” and “Montreal” was next on the list

These were events I didn’t want to miss

Then the “Hawks” playing the “Sabres” was another must see

I didn’t know if I would be able to watch all three

If I was paying through the nose for cable I could have recorded each and every one

See them later making sure I didn’t know who won

This is an option that I no longer possess

With a little bit of ingenuity however, I was able to accomplish my quest

I watched two hours of the “Bills” game before the “CFL” game was to start

Thankful that they were scheduled at least two hours apart

This time gap really helped me in my cause

I watched the first two quarters and simply pressed pause

This option only gave me ninety minutes to keep that game on hold

I then went to my “CFL” game to see what would unfold

I was able to watch all the action and every single play

Then back to the “NFL” at half time, I could afford no delay

I managed to watch the rest of the “Bills” game with no time to spare

Thanks to the fast forward button that helped to get me there

If “Green Day” wasn’t playing the half time show in “Hamilton” I would have never accomplished this feat

Once again the favoured “Winnipeg Blue Bombers” went down in defeat

The “Alouettes” made quite a comeback with only seconds left to take the lead

I really wanted our hometown hero “Mike O’Shea” to succeed

All this time I had my “Blackhawks” playing on a tablet next to me

I was continually going back and forth every time I had a chance to see

The “Blackhawks” like the “Bombers” never won

These games finished seconds apart and my night was finally done

My “Bills” beat the “Jets” for a much needed win

Tonight “Philadelphia” plays “Kansas City”, 8:15 pm is when it begins
