Texans love their sports, even when it gets cold outside. But “winter sports” in the Lone Star State don’t exactly look like they do in other places. That was the inspiration for Typewriter Rodeo’s Jodi Egerton as she wrote this week’s poem.
Winter Sports … In Texas
Put on your woolen hat
And your cozy mittens too
Let’s gather up to watch some sports
The way we Texans do
It’s wintertime, so winter sports
Must be the way to go
Like…hockey?
skiing?
bobsledding?
…I honestly don’t know
It turns out most Texas sports
Run spring, summer, and fall.
But winter, hey, it’s 72 degrees.
…Let’s go play some Football!
