Army Navy And The Roger That Starbucks Figure Skating Lady
As Submitted To The Roots And Branches Challenge
What branch are you from
Asked some
One
In the stands
Being fans
Go Army
They heard with glee
Go Navy
Said an oceanic lady
Sailing the SS Cruise
Midshipman were not going to lose
To the Black Knights
Performing duties defending American rights
Up and down, they went
The field their schools did rent
Message they wanted to send
For General Public to comprehend
Peace is always the answer
In defeating warring cancers
That bleed red
From those who are dead
Having nothing more to say
Since they
Paid the ultimate price
Due to leaders not being nice
Safely hail Mary bombs touched down
While others gained yards, on the ground
Playing a game
Competing the same
Minus destructive death
Monitored by a zebra ref
Weeks later
Flanked by an outdoor figure skater
Sipping Starbucks
Wanting emerald good luck
Medals and memories decorate a tree
Wanting guests to see
Then after a toast or two
Everyone will hug, not getting in a feud
December may seem frosty and cold
Instead, it is filled with new year hope, being bold
Unwrapping a perfect gift that should be bought and sold
