Those of you who know mw know that I do this every year for Opening Day. Over the years, it's sort of become a tradition for me. Anyway, here is this years version......


Haulin’ the mail? (or holdin’ the bag?)
By SouthernStar

At last it’s here! Spread the good news!
The season is starting to cheers and boos. (Make that booze for some of you...)
The offseason waiting is behind us at last.
This game is for keeps, we’d better come out fast.

We got T.O. and then we got Vanderjagt
Will they play like our heroes?...or look like two hags?
Will the O-Line be a monster or play like a f**?
Will we be haulin’ the mail or holdin’ the bag?

First game on the road against a top-notch team
Will tell us so much about this season’s dream.
Will we be returning with a win in the sack?
Or sneakin’ back home with our tails in our cracks?

Will the defense play smart or will they draw the ref's flag?
Will our RBs be quick, or get hung on a snag?
Will our gameplan be golden, or just be a rag?
Will we be haulin’ the mail or holdin’ the bag?

The 4th year of the Four Year Plan is beginning.
And now it’s time to see some winning.
No more excuses, no more last second mistakes.
No more saying that we didn’t get the right breaks.

Will our team units gel or play like they’re stag?
Will we be cheering like crazy or wanting to gag?
Will we start out as winners, or wear a loser’s tag?
Will we be haulin’ the mail or holdin’ the bag?
 
Good poem. Nice rhythm and rhyme and I like the structure.





I always wanted to be an English Teacher :D

I hope not because it might affect their play in next weeks game :lmao:

Ahhh, yes. The iambic pentameter. This is the first time I ever used this particular one.
A,A,B,B
A,A,A,A
 
"There once was a man from Nantucket,......you had a" .......... OH WAIT, thaTS A DIFFERENT KIND OF POEM!.....:laugh2:
 
Yep, That's known as a limerick and has an iambic pentameter of
A,A,B,B,A (as all limericks do...)

Huh? Iambic pentameter has to do with the syllabic accent and unaccents, no?

Opening day? I thought I was ina time warp for a minute....
