Jimbo 'N' Jameis

Whatcha gonna do if’n Famous Jameis goes pro?
‘tain’t nottin ya can do ‘bout it, Coach Jimbo
Dontcha know, da freshman Heisman winner’s caught da eye
Even da Giants’ Eli ain’t a-rankin’ too high

Butcha ya got ta give it ta dem dadgum referees
Dey even find ways ta yeller-flag Drew Breeze
‘tain’t sayin’ Jameis is apt ta go jest yet
But if’n he gets lotsa bucks, he may jest be a Jet

Shure, New York might be colder’n a witch’s tit
But yer brass bra in January, Jameis can fit
Tajh Boyd ‘n’ Michael Vic should be grindin’ der teeth
Dey ain’t fallen outta da ugly tree yet (look beneath)

Now Aaron Rodgers is so granny-slappin’ good
Dis’n deserves ta stay; it’s jest understood
Jameis is hotter’n' a goat’s butt in a pepper patch
Jimbo, ya best find a way dem pro offers ta match!


 
*Written August 25, 2014 for Verlena's Ebonics contest.  Jameis Winston is 
the quarterback for the Florida State Seminoles and he won the Heisman as a 
red-shirt Freshman.  FSU's coach is Jimbo Fisher.

I wrote one but worked hard on it. The slang is not my cup of tea, Congrats on the win, Carolyn

Great job Carolyn. I am just not up on the new slang. Most of the poems have been meaningless to me. Just too old. I guess. Love, Joyce

Hi Carolyn...this took me quite a while to go through, trying to make it all out; I'm afraid ebonics ain't made for me. Maltese dialect is much easier:) hugs // paul

he is a very good college QB, but pro, I haven't seen anything yet to lead me to think he is going to be good at the next level, when I start seeing him process a defense in 3 seconds and make the correct call then I might change my mind

There was talk last year that he might go pro after his sophomore year. FSU's last quarterback, E.J. Manuel, is the first-string QB for the Buffalo Bills. He didn't set as many records as Jameis. We'll see!
