The Insanity of March Madness

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: March 24, 2013

It's crazy fun!…

There's a basket at the buzzer
to advance to the next round.
Oh my gosh, such sacred moments
make the hardwoods holy ground.

A half-court shot that swishes
and a clutch free-throw that ties
make for magic in March Madness
and can make a grown man cry.

Hoop fans multiply like bunnies
in advance of Easter break.
There's a rush to fill out brackets.
It's insane, for goodness' sake!

Is that why it's called March Madness?
Crazy me! I'll bet it's so.
But when fun gives way to gambling,
you can lose a lot, you know?
