Rob Gronkowski, known as 'the Gronk'
A football star chiseled from rock, no 'policy wonk'
At the top of his game, retired at age twenty-nine
A star who saw stars ~ concussed at least nine times
Today's the game America's been waiting for
The 'Super-Game,' turned festival galore
Fans are delirious with anticipation
At what they'll view on their TV stations
Will Brady finally pass the torch to Goff
Or will he at the vagaries of age merely scoff?
Will Coach Belechick scowl at McVea from across the field
Deflate the football to deviously the victory steal?
Will Gronkowski save New England's day with a miracle catch
Or will Kansas City victory from the jaws of defeat duly snatch?
Tune in this evening for the outcome to finally see
As for me, there are poems waiting to be written --
this fateful third of February
5:05 p.m., CDT, February 3, 2019 -- Super Bowl Sunday
