"OUR HOMECOMING RHYME"

It's been 5 games already, since we started this year,
Enjoying good times and raising our voices to cheer!

This week's poem is a tribute, to our tailgate through time,
And so I have named it "Our Homecoming Rhyme!"

We started out small, with an attendance of three,
But it wasn't too long, before much larger we'd be!

The reminders are there of when the tradition had just begun,
The camping stools, tables and other items for fun!

And while we now have new chairs, grills, and even a turkey fryer,
We still have that family feeling, and growing Penn State Desire!

We are now three generations of tailgaters, chomping at the bit,
And as our family continues to grow, who knows where we'll fit?

And as our tailgate moves, from here and from there,
One thing's for certain, we'll forever continue to care!

You see our tailgate is more, than just a place and a spot,
It's even more than the food, or the gear that we've got!

Our tailgate is history, family and members now on the way,
It's a tradition that has touched all our lives, from that very first day!

And all through the years, no matter where we might roam,
We'll all remember our tailgate, like a "Home Away From Home!"
