Darke County Senior Scribe
Thanksgiving Football time
By Lois Wilson

Once again Senior Scribe Poet Laureate Lois Wilson is on top of the season with her insightful look at the important events of the day. The game of the year is over with more Thanksgiving football yet to come. If you are a football fan (or the spouse of one), you can’t help but identify with her concise, to-the-point prose…

Wilson's completed set - four volumes - of published poetry is now available and is offered as a fundraiser for the Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund. Enjoy great poetry and help a local youngster attend college. For additional information, contact editor@countynewsonline.org.

HOLD EVERYTHING!

Bathroom fixtures flush.
Kids hear no "Hush, hush!"
Neighbors out the door--
To take on a chore.
Things were suspended
Till football ended.
The game is over;
Fans are in clover.
They let spirit show
And cheer, "O-HI-O!"
Foe Michigan fell.
This year--all went well.

GAME DELAY

The turkey's on the table;
The women are gathered 'round.
The guys are watching cable.
And their football yells resound.
When the game draws to a tie
And teams perform overtime,
Gals must answer do or die—
They incur warm-over time!
