THIS IS THE TIME OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON
WHEN THE CREAM HAS RISEN TO THE TOP
THIS WEEK'S WINNERS HEAD TO THE SUPER BOWL
WHILE THE LOSER'S SEASON SIMPLY STOPS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SEATTLE'S SEAHAWKS HAD DISPATCHED THE 'SKINS
WITH THE HELP OF TWO DEFENSIVE SCORES
AND AFTER THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF SUNDAY'S GAME
THAT APPEARED TO BE THE CASE ONCE MORE

THEN THE PACKERS REGAINED THEIR COMPOSURE
AND AS THE SNOWFLAKES BEGAN TO FALL
THEY SHOWED SEATTLE HOW IMPORTANT IS
TO BE SUCCESSFUL WHEN RUNNING THE BALL

THE GREEN BAY PACKERS' OFFENSIVE LINE
BATTERED SEATTLE UNTIL THEY TOOK CONTROL
FROM THAT POINT ON IT WAS FAIRLY EASY
FOR RYAN GRANT TO FIND AND HIT THE HOLE

IT DIDN'T SEEM TO MATTER TO BRETT FAVRE
IF THE BALL WAS MADE OF LEATHER OR MAYBE SNOW
HE COULDN'T SEEM TO MISS ANY OF HIS RECEIVERS
EACH TIME THAT HE WOUND UP TO THROW

BUT THE BRIGHTEST SPOT IN THIS PLAYOFF GAME
WAS A PACKERS DEFENSE THAT WAS SUBLIME
LED BY ATARI BIGBY AND HIS FEROCIOUS HITS
DELIVERED PRECISELY AT THE PERFECT TIME

ONCE THE SHOCK OF THE EARLY TURNOVERS FADED
SEATTLE'S TEAM NEVER REALLY HAD A CHANCE
AGAINST A PACKERS' TEAM THAT WAS RESTED AND HEALTHY
AND LOOKING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADVANCE....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE JAGS AND PATS TRADED SCORES FOR A WHILE
THEN TOM BRADY'S PASSING TOOK IT'S TOLL
HE WAS AS CLOSE TO PERFECT AS HE COULD BE
WHILE CONTINUING THE PATS' UNBEATEN ROLL

IT WAS WIDELY SUSPECTED GOING INTO SUNDAY'S GAME
THAT THE COLTS WOULD BE THE CHARGERS' UNDOING
THAT WASN'T THE CASE AS INDIANAPOLIS FELL
LEAVING DISCONTENT WITH PEYTON MANNING BREWING

THE COWBOYS OWNED THE NUMBER ONE SPOT
AND WERE PREHAPS FEELING JUST A BIT CONCEITED
UNTIL THE GIANTS' TALENT AND DETERMINATION
LEFT TONY ROMO AND HIS TEAM DEFEATED
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IF THE CHARGERS COULD HAVE COME TO THIS GAME HEALTHY
THEY MIGHT HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO BEAT THESE PATS
BUT UNLESS SOME SORT OF MIRACLE OCCURS
BRADY'S TEAM WILL WALK OVER THEM LIKE A DOORMAT

THE GIANTS ARE RETURNING TO FRIGID LAMBEAU FIELD
REPRISING CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES OF YEARS LONG PAST
AND REPEATING THE PATTERNS FROM MOST OF THOSE GAMES
THE PACKERS WILL KNOCK THE GIANTS ON THEIR...GRASS
