Guess We'll Always Have Football

After being a Detroit Lions fan for over 60 years I've learned one important lesson.  The world will not end after your team loses.  We always have those high draft picks to offer us hope.  But what if the world is supposed to end and then doesn't?  This time we still have those college bowl games to look forward to, ready to live or die with our strange loyalties while eating yet another piece of pizza.  

Guess We'll Always Have Football

The world didn't end

so will you be my friend?

You couldn't ask for anything more.

After twelve twenty one

still the hot Mayan sun

is there anything else now in store?

I've heard my dear friend

that the Irish will send

their best to battle the Tide.

To hold back the oceans

they'll need leprechaun potions

Vegas margins are really that wide.

But should they prevail

look for lightning and hail.

Be careful, don't fall on your bum.

If the sun doesn't shine

and your engine won't whine

I'll come running to save you dear chum.
