Welcome to
Super Sunday in America
Our uniquely us
national holiday
based on a hyped contest
played by millionaire behemoths
inside our flat screens
Break out
the nachos and good cheer
Wash the salty seductions down
with rivers of beer
Tribal bonding
in endless
high volume debates
from the snippets
of football knowledge
we've accumulated
We do so love our games
Everybody playing the boxes
and all the numerical permutations
Trying to profit from the score
The American capitalist way
Stretching the bounds of legality,
since gambling is still
one of those Puritanical
obsolete sins we dance around
A little selective morality
The American rationalization way
Customizing the law
Cutting corners when it suits our needs
Crossing over the ancient lines
drawn long ago
when self righteous
hypocritical clerics ruled
They never
would have approved
of such non pious frivolity
on a Sabbath Sunday
Good thing those
uptight types are gone
GAME ON !!
