Superbowl

He comes as part of a team but stands alone
With his able team in front, he now feels at home

He looks at the field full of men in uniform
Coming at him like a maddening storm

He stands on frozen ground and looks around
The crowded field to get a first down

He hears the roar of the fans in the stands
Keely aware that he holds glory in his hands

He cannot wait long before he lets the ball go
In hopes that his aim is as good as before

Only a few seconds left in the Super-ball game
Will he be the star or will he be to blame?

The ball flies like a bullet at his famous receiver
The crowd on their cold feet shaking with ball fever

The catch is made (touchdown) The stands seem to rock
The Super-bowl’s over and some frozen fans are in shock.

Did you mean to say Superbowl? For sure one team will win and one will lose! :) We will see. I guess I’m routing for the winner!
