Hooray! Yippee! It’s finally here
This wonderful season called fall
for it announces a favorite pastime
The bounce of the oblong ball
It matters not whomever you are
Whether young, old, small, or tall
It affects our lives in many ways
The bounce of the oblong ball!
People wearing silly apparel
Screaming til their heart wants to stall
On bleachers when it’s 10 below
Watching the bounce of the oblong ball
Dreaded shopping with your spouse
On game day at the consumer mall
You silently slip away to watch
The bounce of the oblong ball
Or place a bet on a sure thing
“Please, ref, make the right call”
But one thing you can’t control
Is the bounce of the oblong ball!
But the craziest thing you’ll ever see
Are grown men involved in a brawl
Disputing the undeniably obvious
Bounce of the oblong ball
