Steelers Christmas Poems Rule
Look...PSaMP is a sports blog by a Pittsburgh fan for other Pittsburgh fans. Sport is no longer about the athletes and coaches. Media members, writers and yes, even the fans, contribute to the 24/7 coverage of sport.
I'm a huge fan of giving voices to the ordinary Joes that support the local teams, which is why most Youtube videos on the site are something ridiculous or dumb done by a fan. I'd be a jerk if I didn't at least feature the fans' perspective.
So with Christmas coming up real quick, we're treated to a Steelers Christmas poem by some guy. Transcribing time:
For Christmas, I only want one thing.
And that's a Steelers Super Bowl ring.
I won't cry if there's nothing under the tree.
Waiting until February is fine with me.
I hope my request isn't too bold.
It's just that I bleed Black and Gold.
I don't need a present wrapped with a bow.
I need a game-winning touchdown throw.
And when the receiver hauls in that catch.
The opponents will know, they were no match.
Soon they will announce the game's MVP.
That's the Christmas gift I want to see.
Lots of cheer at my Super Bowl party.
As the Steelers hoist that silver Lombardi.
You're welcome for writing that down, dude. Too bad you couldn't mention Duce Staley or some shit.
Merry Christmas?
'Twas the night before Super Bowl 43
ReplyDeleteAnd all through Tampa Bay
Fans were clad in black and gold
Feeling nervous about the next day
The turf was all prepped
The end zones neatly primed
And ready for the Steelers
To seize their moment in time
Tec in his Big Ben hat
And I in my helmet
Stood waiting patiently
For the Steelers to win it
When what should occur
But the other team kicking off
This thing's under way
I said with a cough
We cheered and we cheered
We drank many beers
Hoping with all our might
We would not end up in tears
In the end they prevailed
The Steelers came through
Not that we ever doubted
That's what they would do
One to start the other hand
Making six rings in all
What more could you ask for
From Steelers football
Let's hope this comes true
Let's hope the Steelers can win
But we've got a few more games
Before the celebration begins
Four more and then playoffs
The Cowboys, Titans, Ravens and Browns
Are what stand between the Steelers
And postseason grounds
Kill 'em all, we say
Waving our towels with pride
But whether we win or we lose
It's already been a great ride
Time to wrap this up
My brain has already froze
But I hope you've all enjoyed
My feeble holiday prose
