Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Fool Us 44 Times

Press clippings full of hope
    'Can't-miss prospect'
  Say pundits with inside dope

  Year One, Expectations Low
    Year Two, Frustrations Grow
  Year Three, 'Can't-miss' has got to go

  Jay Cutler, Mitch Trubitsky, Justin Fields
    Last three QBs of 44-in-a-row
  Since Chicago Bears last won a Super Bowl


  ____________________________________
 The 'QB' (Quarterback) is the heart and soul
 of any football team's offense. The Bears' 
 last Super-Bowl QB was Jim McMahon in 
 1985-6 ~ forty-four QBs ago.

Panagiota Romios September 27, 2023 at 4:54 PM Go, Bears! As my hometown is Chicago, that’s all I know what to say. But I don’t know much about football . Oh my cousins co..but I don’t… we would get together on Sunday and the guys would all watch football. Da Bears! Who knows what will happen. By the way, well written. Pangie xx

David Fisher September 27, 2023 at 4:45 PM Now that you write it like that, it seems pretty dire. Funny thing is, the first two stanzas apply to our selected, hmm, elected president(just off by 2). If I recall, the Fridge and company kicked the Pats' butts that year.

Andrea Dietrich September 27, 2023 at 1:59 PM I don't know anything on this topic, but cool poem!

Jerry Brotherton September 27, 2023 at 9:10 AM I would never rub it in Gershon. But as a Chiefs diehard fan, I found the game quite enjoyable. Sorry, my friend, I just couldn't resist.

Bill Baker September 26, 2023 at 8:53 PM Ouch! That's got to hurt. After the Cardinals beat Dallas (with three all=pro players out). I'm not my usual optimistic fan today. Your game was an ugly one too. Another week another chance. Have a good week of poetry writing, gw. Bill

John Lawless September 26, 2023 at 6:01 AM They get all the glory....so why not the shaft??? In high school we were to read "Great Expectations".....the great expectation was that I was going to read it......heheheheee Gershon Wolf September 26, 2023 at 6:49 PM Sounds like a Summer Sensation: 'The Glory and the Shaft.' (Ooh. That could be a bit 'prickly,' eh?! lol).

Daniel Turner September 26, 2023 at 5:57 AM Something tells me, it's not the QB's as much as them not being coached up. Coaching is a very important part of development. My .02 Great to see you again od friend:) Daniel Turner September 26, 2023 at 7:08 PM Well, in all fairness, Chicago's not exactly known for it's good decisions:) When I think of Chicago, I'm thinkin', Otis Rush, Elmore James, Buddy Guy, etc... Gershon Wolf September 26, 2023 at 6:48 PM Well, you're right about coaching being important... And yet, 44 losers in a row says something, eh?! ~ Unbearable!
