Invited To Hype It Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Invited to hype it,
In prime time.
Invited to hype it,
Delighting all minds.
Invited to hype it,
And done to excite...
A craving that satisfies all appetites.

The hype,
Is in need...
Of controversy.
Something that's sold,
To sell and sell well.
A doing incited to hype it good.
A doing that's better than Hollywood could.

Invited to hype it,
In prime time.
Invited to hype it,
Delighting all minds.
Invited to hype it,
And done to excite...
A craving that satisfies all appetites.

'Let's take a ball,
Deflate it fast.
Regardless who throws it to catch a pass.
Or a referree who has touched it last.
We'll claim a deflating an illegal task.
And have that task claimed with it blamed,
On the quarterback.'

~But how do we do that,
To have it be done?
Since everyone sitting,
Saw who had won.
Even if he threw a bar of soap,
The losers would still look like they were dopes.~

Invited to hype it,
In prime time.
Invited to hype it,
Delighting all minds.
Invited to hype it,
And done to excite...
A craving that satisfies all appetites.

~But who would believe,
Someone who is great...
Would deflate many balls,
Just to have it debated.
With it done to perceive,
A ball would cause 'awe' and suspicion? ~

Invite it to hype it,
In prime time.
Invite it to hype it,
To keep on all minds.
Invite it to hype to sell a game.
To ensure that it sells out without any doubt.
And the losers and winners both feast.

'We still have a few tickets left.
Those most suspicious...
$50,000.00 are the tickets.
Those who just want to witness a game played,
$9,000.00 will pay for those cheap seats.'

Invited to hype it,
In prime time.
Invited to hype it,
Delighting all minds.
Invited to hype it,
And done to excite...
A craving that satisfies all appetites.

~What makes this 'bowl' so SUPER? ~

'The hype.'
