Short Playoffs Poems

Those college kids sure get excited when they win
    while their professional counterparts barely grin
      ~ although they do get rich as sin...

Football playoffs, post- holiday sales
Ocean breezes, surfers.
Golf tournament, balmy weather
State employee pushes wrong button
Incoming ballistic missile scare....

We Had Been Counting Sheep

For Washington were counting sheep;
Record would creep and then be steep;
Batting great,
As of late,
And series playoffs they would sweep.

Sound familiar?

There once was a super bowl hero.
Who knew that he fiddled like Nero.
    But Rome didn't burn.
    His team did by durn.
All the way to the playoffs ate crow.


For Royal Trevinos "Super Bowl" contest....

SOMBRE SWANS

Once I could
twitter like a
lark at the
world;  now I 
must muddle my
words with the
immensity of 
granite; I have
no more playoffs
left to play with
my sombre swans
sashay through
the perfidious
hours like a shroud

Like a Thrilling Joyride

by Bonnie and Clyde

 The Playoffs are Do or Die

How High Can You Fly

Way Up in the Sky then CrashDive,

One Minute your Kickin' Dem to the Curb 

The Next, You love 'Em as You Love Your Wife

 One Moment In Time

 Let It Be Mine

 then We can Dine with Fine Wine 

and Remember Havin' The Times Of Our Lives....

I'm a BENGALS fan,all year long I am.
During the regular season I'm drinking beer and cheesin,
Now that time has come it's called the post season.
At this time of year I get numb for no reason,
My hands start icthing & I can't stop sneezing.

My team plays hard my team plays fast,
Can they when the game win the playoffs at last.
I am a BENGALS fan I think I know they can.
But when the game is over I'm no longer sober,
I hang my head in shame the BENGALS lost the game....

Christmas season's in December
  Thanksgiving weekend's in November
The Playoffs claim October, Halloween aside
  True-blue baseball fans all aboard for the ride

Combatants' senses sharp, nerve ends tingle
  Concessionaire's cash pockets jingle
Green diamond fields - hoary haunts of yesteryear
  Fading memories of heroes past - atmosphere

The tension mounts before each game
  Players ante up for fame
Emotions yo-yo - stomach's butterflies
  'Play ball!' the call ~ It's do or die...
