Greg Jennings...Not much left to say!

The guy has been widely covered here because, let's face it, he's simply amazing.  Year after year, I've focused on his family, religious convictions, stats, everything the anything.  And yet I feel compelled to write more.  Perhaps instead of covering new territory, I can make something new.  A haiku, you say?  Happy to do so!

Number eighty-five
You are an NFL rock.
Love to watch you play.

And I won't leave you without a picture.  Enjoy this randomness.

Haiku with Green Bay Packers Korey Hall

Haiku (n): A Japanese style of poetry with a three-line form in which the middle line is 7 syllables in length while the first and third lines are 5, though other variants exist. Haiku generally focus on themes of nature, seasons, or the Green Bay Packers.

Well, I'm sure you had no idea I crafted the above definition of my favorite poetry style, the classic and enduring haiku. Certainly the Green Bay Packers are haiku-worthy, and I've selected Korey Hall at random to be the subject of a series of haiku in his honor.

Ahem.
