This Is Just To Win The Super Bowl (with apologies to William Carlos Williams)

I have intercepted
The pass
That you threw
Towards Welker

And which
You were probably
Hoping
Would score

Forgive me
it was too wobbly
so off target
and so easy

I got my foam formula (initially developed as non-irritating bubble bath for a friend's children) used a bit for foam parties. One guy in Miami tested it in the driveway of his shop, inviting neighborhood chidren to play in it, and then it rained, and it stood up much longer to rain than other foams he'd used with his equipment.

"Lost" turned out to have been a version of "The Lost Special" by AC Doyle. The characters all had (or were) doubles, there was no time travel (just an illusion produced by people meeting their doubles under mind control influence), there was nobody surviving airline wrecks...lots of stuff like that.
