Ode to Football

The lock out is over, the whole mess is done

Dudes and dudettes, it’s time for some fun.

Already there’s talk of free agents and trades

Of whose gonna suck and which team has it made.

Fantasy lineups are ready to play

Meaning I’m getting ready to give money away.

Now Sundays have meaning and crime rates will stay low

As the rookies and veterans give it a go.

I’m ready for a Skins game, to give them a cheer

For tailgates and grilling and drinking some beer.

For first downs and touchdowns and field goals for three

For tight ends, receivers and hot little QBs.

I’m excited for Hail Mary’s, a last second chance

And for Chad or T.O.’s new touchdown dance.

Can’t wait for a sack, for a hurry, a pick

But Brett, please, this year, don’t show us your……….

I still hate the Cowboys, their silver and blue.

And as for the Steelers, I still hate you too.

Plaxi is back, he’s served all his time

PacMan, we know, is just out of his mind.

Chris Cooley, I love you, you just crack me up

Michael  Vick, not a fan, because I heart my pup.

Aaron Rodgers, the champion, still leading the Pack

Drew Brees leads the Saints to the chants of Who Dat.

So much to say and so little time

Manning bros and Tom Brady, I owe you a line.

But I’ll end with this thought, these words from us all

We missed you, we love you…..welcome back football.
