"Unstoppable Tailgate"

Our 4th game is here, and we we’re all raring to go,
It’s time for another tailgate rhyme, as all of you know!

So while you’re dreaming of heading back to Penn State,
Enjoy this short rhyme I call “Unstoppable Tailgate!”

They say that a hurricane is heading our way,
But I say “Boloney on what the naysayers say!”

And even if rain comes flooding, down through our lot,
Our tailgate will go on, “WEATHER” or not!

You see, for anyone who has been there, it is plain as can see,
Without a tailgate on Saturday we have no place to be!

Each week we patiently, anxiously, incessantly wait,
Hoping the days pass faster and faster, until our tailgate!

There’s Moose who cooks Cow, marinated to perfection,
And a Bean that serves Pig, like it’s his life’s obsession!

Everyone joins in, by bringing entrees galore,
And it’s not just the food that we all adore!

It’s the warmth of the sun and the cold of the breeze,
And the hope that chilled rain will not make us freeze!

So whether Isabel gives us, a ton or not even a drop,
There is one thing for certain, Our Tailgate Won’t STOP!
