Poem
I'm still smarting from the Sixers devastating victory a few weeks ago. It been raining the last two days, but today it isn't, just cold. You know, just when you think it's in the bag, you then realize that you threw that bag out, last week. But the Sixers, they had it in the bag. Finally! We would get the recognition that we so well deserved. For this was not just any consecutive lose record. No. Not some basketball record, or some baseball record from some inept team in 1943. No, this was "the" consecutive loss record for all major professional sports teams in modern day American history! The grand daddy of them all. And It's was ours. In the bag! All we had to do was lose. I mean come on, we lost 26 games in tying this thing. Surely we can lose just one more. I mean, what's one more? After losing 26, we all just thought it was in the bag. I mean really, what could go right? I even had a group of fellow dejected Philly sports fans, and we Face booked a kind of group event. I think each one of us watched our first Sixers game that night in finally getting to witness some type of achievement. And they(excuse me)won. 26 loses in a row, the record all tied up, all but in the bag and they go out and win. And yet, even though it put a real damper the Rocky statue luncheon, every one still showed up. And on that day, that group of nine dejected fans, came to a wonderful and I feel beautiful conclusion. And I paraphrase, 'It's just as good to be tied with the biggest loser, as it would be to actually be the biggest loser." Like, actually have something to hang on your mantle. So I just want to thank the Sixers. What a ride it was guys. So close, so close, and yet so far away. Don't let winning eat away at your propensity be horrendous! Hang in there and one day that record WILL BE OURS... King of the World!
