    Ran across the following acrostic while reading and thought I'd share:

    W itness, ye sons of tyrant's black doom,
    A nd see his Excellence victorious come!
    S erene, majestic, see he gains the field!
    H eart is tender, while his arms are steel'd.
    I ntent on virtue, and her cause so fair,
    N now treats his captive with a parent's care!
    G reatness of soul his ev'ry action shows,
    T hus virtue from every bounty flows,
    O ur GEORGE, by heaven, destin'd to command,
    N ow strikes the British yoke with prosp'rous hand.

    Of course, this was written "By a Young Lady" in honor of General Washington, the father of our country, and I'm sure many of you remember it from 11th grade American History class. Perhaps it's the season, but I think it has a bit of football spirit in it. Share it with family and friends on The Fourth which ain't far away and think of Dawgball along with the beer and ribs!

    Is anyone sharing this poem with friends and family today?

    Right? This guy can't be serious. I hope he is playing to the crowd and acting like this on purpose for some laughs. If not, to borrow a famous line from one of my best friends.. Wow, just wow.

    This is hilarious coming from you.
