I grew up watching Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell and the other guys with my dad.

The importance that our society attaches to sport is incredible. After all, is football a game or a religion? The people of this country have allowed sports to get completely out of hand.

Fragments and Sorrows of Gary Shaw
Man divided?
Extraordinarily multi-sided?
All state football player.
Texas eventual naysayer?
Observer of the offensive?
Notably pensive?
Thoughtful book?
Hallowed culture royally shook?
Envious Howard Cosell and best seller lists proclaimed his veneration?
Hemingway potential of his generation?
Overcome by his inner ghosts -
Only to be so tauntingly close -
Falling into the depths of the perpetually morose!
'They raise cattle and football players in Texas. The cattle are better treated' - the late Gary Shaw in 'Meat on the Hoof'

Monday Without You
Yesterday, it was you and i
Living in make believe
In your eyes I was number one
And you were all the world to me
But you have another life
Youre going to somewhere where I dont belong
Chorus:
I cant think about monday
I cant think about watching you walk away
I only want to be with you
I just want to be with you
I cant think about anything else but sunday
And the touch of you
I only want to be with you
Cant think about monday without you
In an empty room
Waiting for a reason why
Tryin, cryin, dyin
I know that its over but I dont want to hear you say good-bye
(chorus)
Monday without you...
I always knew I couldnt keep you
But all I can think about
Is holding you, loving you, just one more night
(chorus)

Monday Monday
Monday, Monday
So good to me.
Monday, Monday
It was all I hoped it would be.
Oh Monday morning
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening
You would still be here with me.
Monday, Monday
Can't trust that day.
Monday, Monday
Sometimes it just turns out that way.
On Monday morning
You gave me no warning
Of what was to be.
On Monday, Monday
How could you leave
And not take me?
Every other day
Every other day
Every other day
Of the week is fine, yeah.
But whenever Monday comes
But whenever Monday comes
You can find me crying
All of the time.
Monday, Monday
So good to me.

Then there is a still higher type of courage - the courage to brave pain, to live with it, to never let others know of it and to still find joy in life; to wake up in the morning with an enthusiasm for the day ahead.

Dead Guy Stickers
In the USA,
They want to put dead guy pictures on cigarette packs.
With that brilliant logic in mind, I say put dead guy stickers on:
car windshields(dead guys in wrecks)
pistol and rifle handles (dead guys shot)
marriage licenses (dead spouses)
hamburger and hot dog wrappers (dead fat guys)
pies, cakes (more dead fat guys)
bathroom doors (thousands of dead guys in bathrooms every year)
bicycles (road kill dead guys)
fire places (burnt dead guys)
swimming pools (drown dead guys)
every electrical outlet (fried dead guys)
air plane tickets (dead passenger guys)
the beach (shark bit dead guys)
cities (shot dead guys)
air (blue dead guys)
fish (poisoned dead guys)
motorcycles (more road kill dead guys)
scarfs (strangled dead guys)
football helmets (brain dead guys)
hot tubs (more drowned dead guys)
and so on.
Just about everything can kill you, such as:
Mothers (dead baby guys plus dead fathers)
Fathers (dead baby guys plus dead mothers)
Police(multiple dead guys and chicks)
Drugs (multiple dead guys and chicks)
and so on.
Once everything has a dead guy sticker on it,
You've been warned and the world will be safer, right?
It shows we care, right?

The Football Fan
They love their football team
their loyalty is never in doubt
they rarely ever miss a match
from the stands they scream and shout.
Even when the teams playing poor
and their favourite player is off key
that will never stop them from going
as the ground is where they want to be.
Football is always on their minds
they think about it night and day
non football fans think they must be crazy
watching men kicking a ball home and away.
Relationships can become strained and tense
as football takes the leading role
partners can become irritable and even jealous
when the fan talks for hours about a wonder goal.
The fan even dreams of football in their sleep
shouting out and butting the pillow with their head
they jump up and down as if they've scored a goal
and kick their partner out of the bed.
Yes the football fan is a breed apart
slightly eccentric and a thick skinned soul
when all that matters to them in life
is seeing their favourite player score a winning goal!
