butter’s bitter; if I put it in my batter it will make my batter
 bitter, but a bit of better butter will make my batter better.

Fans cheer for football field goals.
Football faces, fast hurting challenges,
Frustrating, mad faces

It brings family and friends together forever
Funny Franklin frantically kicked the football
Friends and family were watching the football game.
