MIRACLE! Now hear sports prime time “Amazing! Spectacular!” Just two of the words “Hey! You gotta be kiddin’” Does he know how to play ball!” “One of the greatest” Some say he IS the greatest!” Just incredible!” “Bob that’s some kinda atha-lete!” “Three hundred pounds of muscle” “It’s a miracle!” “You mean HE’S a miracle” “He’s at the fifty – Forty thirty twenty-five Reverses field at the five STUPENDOUS RUN A TOUCHDOWN!” WHAT AN ATHA-LETE!” The magic words spilling forth At top of his lungs Had you pressed the mute button Just another game But the fans love noise The roar will deaden the mind Loudmouth has said squat Has stated the obvious Big mouth says “Watch but don’t think” .................................................................................................... I am an avid football fan - especially college football - the poem is not about disliking football, but about some - not all - of the brainless announcers.
