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
