American Football Poem

The Eagles

'Twas Sunday the 7th and all throughout Philly,
The fans were watching their Eagles on TV looking silly;
Their defense came out with such great designs,
But they couldn't stop Bettis and there's a Touchdown from Hines;

The Eagle fans watched and thought ?ooh how absurd?,
As they watched Hines Ward flap his arms like a bird;
But it was only 7-0 and there was no reason to worry,
With Donovan and T.O., this game would be tied in a hurry;

When out on the field something had happened,
Foote broke through the line, found McNabb, and he sacked him;
Punt it away Andy Reid had to shout,
There's no reason to worry, we'll get them to go 3 and out;

Big Ben throws to Burress, more runs by the Bus,
The Birds Fans were wondering what's happened to us;
This kids just a rookie, how can this happen,
Ward in the end zone again and his arms are a flapping;

He's ripping on T.O. the fans began screaming,
If they think this will keep up, they must be dreaming;
But when the offense took over it was three and out,
GIVE ME THE BALL T.O. began to shout;

The Steelers took over and moved it with ease,
Bettis was running through the defense like it was made of Swiss cheese;
Big Ben took the snap and rolled to the right,
TD to Reimersma, oh what a sight !

We are 7-0 and how could this be ?
But the Eagles were beaten 27 to 3;
We knew this was a good team to have to confront,
But holy hell, they didn't even punt !

To top it all off there was the dope in action,
T.O. yipping at McNabb gave me much satisfaction;
We'll meet again in the bowl was yelled out by some,
I for one hope so, because we'll get one for the thumb.

I'm sorry if this poem seems a little cocky,
Look at it this way Philly, you still have Rocky;
These words may come back to haunt me, but who cares for now;
I'm just going to continue waving my terrible towel !!!!!
