So creative. Happily, I'm an American, so the pigskin reference guided me right to the answer. I read the last line several times, even out loud. I love the way it flows. Language is art.
Thank you, Snowdog. I am glad you enjoy these.
Three cheers for new teasers getting into the Daily rotation. When this teaser came out, I did not notice or consider the title, except to note it nearly matched the Yes song "Perpetual Change". This time I recognized the relevance to the teaser answer and it made me smile.
Thanks Snowdog. So it was an eventual realization to which you came. Bonus! By the way, my titles always pertain in some way to the teaser. They may also serve as a clue. To make someone smile is a worthy reason for creating a puzzle!
