March Madness

Oh, March Madness, what you do to the citizens of America,
How you bring us together as you rip us apart.
Lord knows that you are full of entertainment purposes,
but what about those darn brackets?

Facebook statuses are popping up demeaning teams for their inability to win,
Grown men are crying at bar stools.
Women are angry because basketball is the only important thing to men during March (and April),
and it's sad when that is when your birthday is.

No, you don't want to watch the games,
No, you don't want to go to that guy's house to watch the game,
No, you don't want to hear about how far he's going in his bracket,
and No, you don't want your life to be overrun with stats and players and field goals (I thought those only happened in soccer and field hockey anyway?! )

Dear March Madness, I know I filled out a bracket for you,
But I don't care if Michigan loses or if Villanova wins in overtime, I don't even remember who I voted for!
Sure it's fun to take pink colored pencils and circle the team if you win, but have you watched any of the games aside from one you had no choice to watch? No.
So April, come quickly.
