Superbowl Bound

This is the first in a trilogy of poems that comprise the first 2 years of big bens career as the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback so sit back and enjoy.

I was at my favorite sports bar
Rooting on my favorite team
They were playing hard
Up on the big widescreen

The quarterback is the new guy
Still wet behind the ears
But each veteran he's played
He's sent away in tears

Our running backs are awesome
The best in the whole darn league
But when duce can't get it done
The bus drives through the other team

Our wide receivers Plax and ward 
Know how to help us win
Now when they catch the ball
I crack a cheerful grin

Our defense is an iron wall
These guys are made of steel
When they finish with the other team
They think they'll lose their meal

We've won our whole division
We've also clinched the bye
To the Superbowl they're bound
It's there we'll do ore die

We'd better win that game
Or it'll have been a steel
The only way we'll lose
Is if we're deal a royal deal

Then I'd be heart broken
Without a bit of cheer
But I wouldn't let it show
I'd say we'll win next year

I know that won't happen
I can feel it in my bones
It's the other team you'll hear 
Give out those fearless groans

So the next time you're a rooting
For your favorite team
Unless it's the Pittsburgh Steelers
It doesn't mean a thing
