I'm glad you had fun watching the game (or part of it :) with your husband.
I thought you were going to say, however, though in a light-hearted way, of course, that you were a bit "the worse for wear." a bit "mussed" from all his gyrations and arm waving etc. Glad you emerged in one piece.
Cute, very nice poem.

    Thank you, Katharine, for your lovely review. Yes, the game was somewhat entertaining, but of course my husband's antics were more amusing, by far. It was certainly a challenge to stay out of his way!
    Jorge is also a very active sleeper, so I do occasionally get smacked in the head by an elbow, or even his hard head. If I'm using my cellphone after dark, I have to hang onto it, or it could get knocked out of my hand. But it seems that I've been unwittingly rough on him, also... he said that I once landed a karate-chop across his forehead, in my sleep!
    Altogether, it's remarkable that we never had to go to the ER, due to careless, jerky movements on the part of each other, but I guess we've been blessed that way. Thanks so much, my friend, and may God bless you.
    Love, Mary Kay xoxo

I am not a football fan either, though my husband is almost a fanatic. From what I here for other football fans. a lot of people don't like Tom Brady. I hope you didn't get too banged up from your husband's cheering.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Congrats on being the reviewer of the month.

    Hi Joan,
    Thanks for the excellent review and your thoughtful comments. It sounds like we have a lot in common! Yes, for that game, my husband was able to set aside his disdain for Tom Brady. And I was not injured, despite his very physical expressions of appreciation for the game's developments.
    Thank you for your congratulations, much appreciated! God bless you.
    Love, Mary Kay xoxo

This poem is surely written by an inspired author who could make us enjoy every line of it. I am not a fan of NFL but I could understand your enthusiasm. What is more important in our relationship is to be able to sit and enjoy ourselves together with our spouses. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for the wonderful six-star review! You are absolutely right, the biggest takeaway from this is not sports related, but all about the importance of sharing time with our loved ones and doing something special with our spouses.
    I really appreciate this review, because not only did you give me a very generous six, but yours was the 26th review, giving my poem the nudge it needed, into "All Time Best" status! You may not have realized it, but the 26th review was very important to me.
    God bless you, my friend. - Mary Kay

    I did not realize that it is a miracle. I am so happy for the "All Time Beast" status. You are a great author. You deserved this status.

I liked this poem! The flow was pretty good and the rhythm was spot on. I especially enjoyed the use of the word "vociferous" as it really sells just how excited your husband is. It in indeed an interesting word and used very well to convey not just feelings, but movement as well. Again, loved it, well done

Great poem Mary. I can see Jorge jumping up and down for the bucks. I can imagine he is very entertaining to have around.
Wow, a lot of rhyming there but you pulled it off with just the right words. Say hi to Jorge for me. Will keep you posted on the status here.

    Thank you, Brad, for a great review! Yes, Jorge is very entertaining indeed -- more fun than the game, itself! I feel very blessed that we found each other. I will tell him you said hello :-) and please do let me know how it's going.

Mary,

Reading this poem about you watching the game with your husband was better than watching the Super Bowl, itself. I enjoyed reading the details of the game and your husband's jubilance.

I only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials and half-time show.

Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you very much for your great review, the five stars and such an awesome compliment! I doubt that I would have been watching the Super Bowl either, were it not for Jorge.
    I'm so glad you enjoyed my poem, and reading about the game's outcome and my husband's antics. May God bless you and keep you and your loved ones safe.
    Love, Mary Kay xoxo

I Love this Rhyming Poem for the Contest you Chose a Winner also. My Son's have been Tom Brady Fans going way back. My favorite was Payton Manning last team before retirement was Denver Broncos. Tom Retired me from watching football for quite a few years but, I knew he couldn't be counted out through my Now 40 something's Kids. Best of Luck in the Contest. Blessings to you and yours.

Well done in telling the Super Bowl in excellent rhyme.
I enjoyed the read even though my husband and I would only watch a football game if we were tied to a chair and our heads wrapped up so we could only look forward and our hands cannot reach the remote.

This was a wonderful read.
Good luck in the contest.
Mary

    Hi Mary! Thank you so much for your excellent review and the five stars, especially in view of your apparent dislike for football (at least you and your husband feel the same way about it). That was very funny ;-) I am actually such a weak sports fan, that I have occasionally said that if sports were to vanish from the earth, I wouldn't miss them (with the exception of my husband's agony over their absence). However I do think they play a vital role in our civilization, and I am convinced that we would have more wars, if we didn't do so much fighting on the playing field! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. God bless you both. Love, Mary Kay xoxo

Hi Mary Kay: I truly enjoyed reading your well written and creative poem documenting the events of the Super Bowl. I am not a football fan, but I watched with my husband. We also watched all of the after the game celebrations. It was a fun evening together. I appreciated your poem and notes after the poem. All well done.
