Eagles

I watched the Eagles win a Super Bowl So I screamed break out the band But then I found I was in Disney World In a place called Fantasy Land I got tickets for the next game They were playing Arizona at home I thought they should beat Arizona But they couldn't even beat the Cardinals from Rome Then I asked the coach about quick counts And how come a long count is never used He said if the count is over three The whole damn line gets confused I lay out my game jersey on Sunday After church I get myself dressed I swear this game will be different But after the National anthem I get depressed They set a goal to finish sixth they said It was a team decision The coach didn't have the heart to tell them There's only four teams in their division The N F L is fun to watch but I've always been an Eagle Fan I'm cheering for a team that can't Count the scoops in raisin bran. Frustration setting in as I watch so called "Pros".

Vince, I don't care anything for sports, but it doesn't matter. Your poem creates the frustration for us to feel how you feel! Thanks so much for what you said to me on my September poem. It means a lot to me. Luv, Andrea
