It's Like Kissing Your Cousin
Posted: August 19, 2007
Why the NFL's preseason games are full…
Pre-season games don't have the thrill
like those that are official will.
I guess it's like a cousin's kiss
compared to your sweetheart's.
It's dress rehearsal. Nothing more.
There's not much interest in the score.
The veteran dancers step aside
so stand-ins can step up.
But dress rehearsals have their place.
And with football that is the case.
They line up on a spot-lit stage
to see whose learned their steps.
The rookies know this is the time
to do their best to try to shine.
They know that if they don't impress
it's likely they'll be cut.
And for us fans it is the chance
to get psyched up for autumn's dance
when ballet's best with pads and cleats
will spin and leap with grace.
