I got a PM suggesting I should repost this as it was quickly buried several pages deep this morning and some in other leagues may have missed it. It's been referred to as poetry, but, for better or worse, this is just my everyday-speak with my kid at the moment....

'Twas the second day of draft week
And all 'cross the land
The airwaves were buzzing
In VSR and Sand
The playing of real games
Did not even matter
For in this moment
Their was laughter and chatter
The other leagues watched on
With one eye, or two
To see if their sleepers
Were disclosed by a few
The strategies evolved
From the west coast to east
Looking for points
That costed the least
Each guarded their draft list
With caution and care
Too early for this pick?
Oh, would he dare?
Should he pick the Spaniard?
Should he build from the top?
Or was it better to build
A defense at the Kop?
On Stevie, On Frankie
Push forward this year
And here's to Fernando
And his extra gear
And I cursed now and then
If a pick went before me
But at least I had nabbed
The defender named Terry
But enough of this break
There is research to read
I still need to find
The next Gary Speed
So back to my spreadsheet
There is work to be done
But unlike other jobs
This work is so fun
And I reminded myself
As I agonized each round
"He'll be traded by Christmas
When a new guy is found!" :)
