Elisha's snow poem

The snow is like a whippoorwill,

Singing in the morning.

Falling softly to the ground,

The tears of our Lord mourning.

The snow is white like the blanket sheet,

On our comfy bed.

Glistening in the morning sun,

So bright it hurts my head.

The snow is cold like a ice cube block,

Melting in a glass.

Students walking through it,

Hurrying to get to class.

The snow brightens up the winter time,

Making things to do.

Snowball fights, Snowmen families,

And building a large igloo.

This is my first poem. I did it for school, and enjoyed every minute of it. I especially enjoy making Limericks. What was funny was that it all came to me in the first 5 seconds; so fast i had to write really fast so that i wouldn't forget it.

Ladybugs take lead with 8-0 win/loss ratio!

            After the end of week 8, the ladybugs still remain undefeated with an easy win over the ().  With their fantasy football star RB Devonta Freeman leading their team, the ladybugs are looking up to a potentially undefeated season. However, with the loss of their 2 string RB Matt Forte to an MCL pull, and Freeman loosing precious touchdowns, their season is looking bleak. The league manager, Elisha McFarland, was quoted saying: “The Ladybugs team has been a large surprise, especially since at the start of the year they were believed to be the worst team. Their team is very good, but now that Matt Forte is injured, it is believed to be possible to defeat them.” In week 8, the Ladybugs easily defeated 10^th ranked JD’s Homies 175 to 131, giving them their 7^th straight win in a row.  This week the Ladybugs are already off to an 18 point lead against 3^rd ranked Chicago Blackhawks, due to the points given by Cincinnati Bengals’ Jeremy Hill and the Cincinnati defense, which triumphed over the Cleveland Browns in the NFL.

WV Wildcats:  105

The Old Men:  185

The Chicago Blackhawks:  181

The Uganda Cranes:  153

Uganda Cranes triumph over Buffaloes because of late game blunder!

The Uganda Cranes (5-3) triumphed  153 to 126 in a huge upset win because of Andrew Luck’s 26 points against the Carolina Panthers, and defeated the Buffaloes. However, the game would have been won by the Buffaloes if not for 3 Bye week starts, (2 RBs and a K) LeSean McCoy, DeMarco Murray, and Dan Carpenter. On the bench, RB Todd Gurley scored 40+ points, showing that if the Buffaloes had started even just Todd Gurley then the game would have been theirs. Also, this is a reminder to PLEASE CHECK YOUR LINEUP EVERY Tuesday AND FRIDAY, AND PLEASE SUB OUT BYE WEEK PLAYERS. Thank you.

Editors note: A bye week start is where a player whose team is not playing in the NFL that week does not play as well, and will not give any Fantasy points. Therefore it is advised to start another player in place of him.
