There is a woman hot like paprika,
with bee-stung lips spicier than tikka,
every time she adopts a child,
the paparazzi goes berserk and wild,
no wonder they call her "mother Africa".

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for sharing such a fun and witty limerick about a celebrity. Your clever use of language and rhyme scheme make for an enjoyable read. I especially appreciate the way you portray this celebrity as a caring and nurturing mother figure. Additionally, I love the nod to the continent of Africa in the title of your poem. It adds an extra layer of depth to your work. Keep up the great writing!
