Without a care,
I stare at the chair in my hand;
I don’t need a royal throne, grand,
truly, I am content to just stand,
on demand,
at attention.
This chair is a symbol that reminds me,
that Rest will make his grand appearance.
He won’t lean on royalties aplenty,
but he’ll shade and blend well with Ready.
I am a Grenadier guard.

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.

Always vigilant with Ready but when Rest shows, be ready to decompress. 😊✨
"Grenadier Guard" just sounds epic! Such a clever and striking piece.🙂
