Osprey


Osprey



Osprey is hungry—

had the niner,
tattooed and tough,

but that meal wasn’t enough.

So, says he,
it’s off to New York,

feels like I could eat a horse.

Ok, so I am having a bit of fun.  The Seahawks beat the 49ers for the NFC Championship and are going to Superbowl XLVIII to face the Broncos!  The seahawk is another name for the bird of prey the osprey.

I won't hold it against you Keith ;)

Thanks Bri :D As great of an athlete as Sherm is he does talk some smack! Professional athletes aren't always the role models we wish they were. But, thankfully there are the likes of Wilson, Okung, Maragos, and Gresham. Thanks for the good wishes, should be fun!

Love that light poetry! And this one brought a smile. I read it to my husband, the football fanatic, and he laughed out loud. Thanks for the heads-up regarding the prompt at Poetry Jam. I did it - and it seems to have worked. I tried linking once before (at another site) and managed to create an utter techno-goof tangle. But this one was easy-breezy - even for me. So, thanks again.

My goodness, I'm glad you included the explanatory note! I don't follow football at all, but good luck to your team; any team named after such a remarkable bird must be worth rooting for!

Glad that worked out and you were able to join in at PJ. That poem you wrote was too good not to share!

Jennifer Wagner said...

Thanks Shay. I agree, the osprey is a remarkable raptor!

Jennifer Wagner said...
