The Man in the Cake Shop
Spreading germs as he sneezes loudly
The Man in the Cake Shop
The man in the cake shop served me.
I smiled and pointed with care.
A sponge with cream and cherries.
The best one sitting there.
He lifted it up with pride.
He held it under my nose.
But just as he reached for the box.
A mighty sneeze arose.
It sprayed across the sponge.
The cream went flying wide.
A cherry bounced off the counter.
And landed by my side.
I gasped and stepped back quickly.
My appetite did die.
I said no thanks I’m leaving.
And waved the cake goodbye.
I left the shop shaking my head.
Some cakes are not meant to be.
Next time I will just pass by,
Letting his germs spread freely.

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.

What a story and hopefully this really doesn't always happen, but it could. Good job.
