I hail from the “City of Bridges” –
Where "la belle riviere" is born,
Where th’Allegheny and “Mon”,
Come together as one
And the proud black and gold are worn.
I hail from the “City of Champions” –
Home of Pirate and Penguin and more,
Of th’oft Super Bowlers,
Our “Terrible Tow’lers”
The Steelers that we all adore.
I hail from the city of metal –
Where iron was made into steel,
Where blue collar muscle
And hard-working hustle
Helped th’American dream become real.
I hail from the city of Pittsburgh –
Of the Incline, Heinz Field, and the Strip,
Kennywood and Carnegie,
Of Clark bars and “hoagies”,
Yinz guys should come – take a trip!
Trump Was Never Discrete
Did find Trump was never discrete;
No one was there for him to meet;
Sent out feelers;
Only Steelers;
Dead not buried yet nice and neat.

Poetry Steelers
Leaving for few days not very much;
Won't thrill to poems and their touch;
Am throwing out some poetry feelers;
My poems are bad so are no stealers
Everyone of my poems has a glutch.
Glutch is a glitch no one likes very much.
I'm sorry for the Steelers fans
(My sister and her spouse)
For disappointment must now rule
Their beings and their house.
The Packers fans are sad as well,
So close but no cigar,
A pity to be unsuccessful
Having come so far.
I really couldn't care which teams
Are Super Bowl contending,
But I'm delighted that the
Football season will be ending!
At the age of 17 Ian broke his back,
In a motorbike accident, had rehab,
He then worked for a w/c company,
Who showed him w/c basketball fab.
For 3 years he played in the club,
Of the Sheffield Steelers, and then,
He transferred to the Tameside Owls,
To join the British team of deft men.
In 2009 at the European Champs,
Ian and team won the bronze, Turkey,
And then in Israel at more Europeans,
,2011, the team collected gold monkey.
In 2013 at the Europeans in Frankfurt,
The basketball team won the lush gold,
Then in 2015 in Worcester, East Sussex,
He rolled his team into another gold.
So when Rio came they were ready,
And took the bronze from Turkey, 82-76,
Ian was born in Barnsley a 3 pointer,
On the 29th March 1982, quick sticks.
Phil is a Welshman from Cardiff, basketball,
Who plays for the club the Sheffield Steelers,
On the 2nd February 1994 he was born tall,
And wears vest 11 for TeamGB, has feelers.
His classification is 3.0, he’s experienced,
‘Cos he was a junior before being a senior,
He first played as a senior very balanced,
2012, Standard Life Continental Clash leer.
In 2015 TeamGB won the European gold,
In Worcester in England’s West Midlands,
So in Rio in 2016 the basketball team bold,
Beat Turkey to win bronze, third strands,
Pittsburgh Steelers had
Mean Joe Greene and Jack Lambert
in the Seventies
Sunday
No working
No Cleaning
No School
Just relaxation
Not even church
Sunday is the best week of my life especially when football and basketball comes on screen .
I prefer basketball.
Lakers beat the Supersonics
Go Lakers.
Today was a great Sunday for the Packers
I bleed green and yellow they beat the Steelers
I’m a cheese head.
Aaron Rodgers a winner.
Brett Favre was and became a traitor.
Family screaming Go Lakers
Family screaming Go Pack Go
The game ends and it became my best Sunday relaxtion ever.
Leave me alone Mom’s
I’m Trying to relax.
Stop talking baby
Let me watch the game.
No women allow
Guys hang out only
Let’s go Packers Sunday and lastly lets go Lakers Sunday.
Steelers and Bengals
will be playing for the North
Steelers be hosting
Mean Joe Greene number seventy-five
kept the Pittsburgh Steelers alive
was a solid wall on that frontline
and sacking the quarterback was fine
the Steel Curtain was solid back then
in the seventies they’d always win
that was the decade of the Steelers
take your rookie card to a dealer
and maybe it is worth some green
never forgetting mean Joe Greene
Packers--green, gold, white
Steelers--black, gold, white--colors
just as close as scores
game ends--exhausted
bloated, eyes strained, throat hurt--sleep;
morning--traffic jam
sportscasters recap--
winners, losers, interviews;
at work now--bowl blues
Pittsburgh Steelers.
Here you come on the field.
Ready to make all other plays yield.
Do what it takes to prove who’s the big deal.
Let them know who’s for real.
All your mighty power as a team.
Coming up with all sorts of intelligent schemes.
Fun filling your NFL dreams.
Coming out the big winners.
Showing you’re not the ones who are beginners.
And forever more rule as champions.
Even against big and mighty players.
That may come crashing your way.
You show them who’s boss each and every day.
Go Steelers Go!
Show the world who rules the football world!
