A Game With a Team With No 'Nick' Name

Wearing the silver and blue Lone stars with loyal honesty that is true Inviting those dressed in burgundy and yellow With the mission ‘keep the politicians mellow’ For a Thanksgiving meal Where the division standings are the big deal Due to a tie Eagles at day's end will say goodbye To first place Until Monday when brotherly love builds its case Against the hawks Underdogs right now by those who use chalk But after the holiday dinner Who will be watching this match for a winner? Just a close game With the feds having no name But there is another reason Why this gridiron duel is pleasing A nice electric shot Of the cover model advertising spot Famed crowd friendly supportive group Cheering in an attractive uniform suit Having a certain look Luring using their physical image like a fishing hook Guys no longer asking, ‘can she cook?’ These stimulating flashing lights From the squad protecting their knights May stop festive fights Or wake up someone who momentary may not be all right Since the beast who is calm After diffusing his egotistical bomb Still has a mind And the time To be thankful and kind All due to the high kicking line Or numerous glasses of wine Win or lose It is hard to refuse A football team playing the boys While helping kids write to the North Pole for new toys
