A play on words, and a day or more late, but fun nonetheless:
‘Twas the nights before Christmas, when all thro’ the land,
Not a creature was happy amongst Cowboy fans;
The 2015 season was a disaster full of despair,
In hopes that the 4th overall pick, a defensive stalwart or QB, would be there;
The draftniks were nestled all smug in their beds,
While visions of Carson Wentz and Jalen Ramsey danc’d in their heads,
And Howie Roseman in his desperation, and Jeff Fisher with a snap,
Had just settled on the top two picks for both QBs – oh, crap-
When out in Cowboy nation, there arose such a clatter,
You can’t take a running back at 4, that was the chatter.
Away to the workouts, the Cowboys flew like a flash,
Tore open conventional wisdom, and gave it a smash.
The future of the franchise, with the tension rising to a peak,
Was a running back selected at four, by the name of Zeke;
But, what about the QB, he so fragile and opposing defenses will attack,
The Cowboys selected a QB, Rayne Prescott, he goes by Dak,
These picks caused much rancor, as fans came to shout,
Does anyone in Dallas know what the draft is all about?
More criticism around the corner they came,
As the NFL announced suspensions and call’d them by name:
You, Randy Gregory and you, Rolando McClain.
Will be on the sidelines for many a game.
How will this defense stop anybody, will avoid being a walkova?
When the big defensive signing was Benson Mayowa?
Never to worry, this offense will put on a serious show.
With the awaited return of Tony Romo.
But then the games started, and the offense went on the attack
Led to prolific scores by the aforementioned Dak.
Then the Seahawks blitzed, and took out the vet Romo,
Leading the collective fan base to exhale, oh no.
But the rookie named Dak, so frequent the receiver of ridicule.
Showed that he had indeed gone to school.
With the start of the season, and expectations low,
The rooks Dak and Zeke began putting on a show.
Down went Washington, Chicago and the 49ers,
Then Cincy, Green Bay and the Eagle whiners.
The Browns, the Steelers and the Ravens were the next to go,
Would Romo get his job back? The answer was no.
Washington and Minnesota made eleven in a row.
But the Giants put a stop to the flow.
With the fan base beginning to develop some sense of panic.
Dak and Zeke stayed cool and continued to click.
Down went Tampa, the NFC East was clinched.
And with a Giant loss, home field advantage was a cinch.
Who saw this coming, no one could be sure,
The youthful exuberance and leadership so pure,
The sage vets, Witten and Lee, showing the way,
The mighty offensive line, plowing holes like a sleigh.
The much-maligned defense, mocked by media and fans,
Have been effective and dashed opposition plans.
The coaching staff, thought to be a Jerry Jones mess,
Have engineered this run by following The Process.
And so Dallas sits, atop the NFC.
Providing a show for all fans to see.
Can they keep this up in the playoffs? This season takes its toll.
But the ultimate goal is to win the Super Bowl.
So, make like Santa Claus, and enjoy the ride.
And don’t let negative thoughts upset the tide.
For the road to the Bowl passes through Arlington.
Not New York, Philly or Washington.
In a season for all that has provided much joy,
Merry Christmas to all, and one more thing:
HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
