Back in my hometown, I am often entered into sports "contest" rings without my knowledge. My dad or my pretend uncle Johnny will buy extra squares or entries or whatever in a given contest, and then just put my name on it since they can't legally enter multiple times. I realize this is borderline identity theft, but usually when my name wins...they're very good about sharing the winnings even though I totally had nothing to do with it.
For the Superbowl, my dad entered me in some weird contest where you have a number for Team A, and another number for Team B. If at any point during the game, if both teams' scores end in your corresponding numbers, you win a wad of cash. Well, my name won a wad of cash! I got an envelope in the mail from my dad, which contained a check and this poem:
My dad is so cute. He always tries to be poetic, but he doesn't understand that it is possible for a poem to not start with "Roses are red..."
Also, in the memo line on the check, he put: "for car repairs". ???

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Eli made the throw
So here's your dough
