A Trip To the Candy Store At Stake

Gretel and Hansel were given A seven But they did not know why Since they did not lie They decided to be Titans At the time of this writing Venturing into the forest Just like the television commercial cat Morris Wanting to compete with Chiefs who had the sweets In the start blessed their heart They had ten sweets and were feeling fine Then the Chiefs said it was time And at the rest break The Titans had all they could take By the end of the half The Titans heard the Chiefs wrath What did they say about the seven?” Gretel asked Hansel Not wanting their big game party to be cancelled “We may need those points so we can keep the candy,” Was the answer about the advantage that could be handy. But the chiefs were mad Turning the Titans bad In fact, the Titans needed more than seven They needed eleven Titans mounted a come back from the Chiefs attack And on the final drive the Titans decided to say goodbye As the chiefs watched them leave G&H wondered what they will be Mining for gold or Wisconsin cheese with a cup of tea. The two went home And had each other so they were not alone. Then the seven was once again giving And they said we must make a living Without any debate They could not wait To feel secure, they choose the gold Since they needed it when they are old Packing the cheese was nothing until the third quarter Giving crimson and gold the orders to go to Florida “Off we go to another show,” Gretel said Knowing the Packer spread was even dead It will be the 49ers and the Chiefs in the big game this year Giving us all something to cheer. Two weeks from now If G&H does not have too much candy that will make them a cow Hopefully, in the end, everyone will take a bow When the question be asked and answered before someone singing in a mask Is it the Chiefs in control of the gold? Should they be so bold? Or are we going be fools with our money over our leaders being funny Time to open the candy store and let G&H in Not caring really who is going to win. Have fun on the beach during these couple weeks Understanding this big game is when America smiles cheek to cheek And when the book to this season is closed, Where should we put our reading nose? We find March Madness on the shelf to open And this gives a whole lot of athletic stoking When you are home by the fireside Relaxing after the workday when you did try Our sports are peaceful games with creative names That brings people together so we can all communicate better.
