A Veterans' Day Limerick

Saluting the women and men

Who serve and defend us all when

The country's in need;

Thus proving, by deed,

They're mightier than any pen.

Dear Veterans... You Honor Us

Happy Veteran's Day.  Thank you for your service.

If you see a person in a uniform today;

Navy blue or Air Force green or, even, Army gray,

Khakis, whites, or camouflage, whichever one they wear -

Take the time to thank them for protecting us out there.

But let's not forget the vets at home who've paid the price

Or their families who've also had to sacrifice.

'though they're out of uniform they, too, deserve our thanks.

All of them have honored us by serving in our ranks.

Thanks especially to my Dad and family friend, Derek McCann

Oh, and by the way, this is how we actually say "Thank you" to American veterans.

Even though the Patriots hung on to beat the Bills

I'm afraid my heart can't take these kind of late game thrills.

If you didn't care who won I'm sure the game was great.

When you like New England though, these are the kind you hate.

Our Defense is 29th - that's out of 32.

Bills are not the first team to come back; there've been a few.

Thank gods for McCourty and Fitzpatrick's awful throw...

Up until the end he put on an impressive show.

Brady's looking sharp again; he's also looking mad.

Screaming at poor Edelman when he did something bad.

Maybe he should take his temper out on Safeties first.

Don't know why they cannot stop deep passes.  Are they cursed?

What is it the sports gods want? They've got my sweat and tears.

I guess we appeased them with the volume of our cheers;

Bills did not come back to win despite how hard they tried...

Late game interception proved the gods were on our side.
