hide the kids

half time of the big game

used to have

Al Hirt

and his trumpet.

maybe

someone like Ray Charles,

or Burt

Bacharach doing a medley

of hits.

The Tiajuana Brass,

or Brazil 66.

but now

we have nursery rhymes

sung by

Dr. Suess on crack.

even with the closed

captions on,

it's a mystery what any

of it means.

and the hundred dancers in red,

as if in some

Satanic ritual,

add nothing

but more confusion.

maybe we should hide

the kids.

however, it does allow time

to walk the dog, and

take a long bathroom break.
