WHILE THE 'BOOS' CAME RAINING DOWN FROM VIKINGS FANS
THE LIONS SEEMED TO HAVE IT ALL GOING THEIR WAY
UNTIL THE MAGIC THAT HAPPENS IN THE METRODOME
SUDDENLY APPEARED TAKING DETROIT 'S CHANCES AWAY

THE VIKING OFFENSE FINALLY MANAGED TO RUN THE BALL
BUT THE PASSING GAME WASN'T ALL THAT GREAT
AND IT LOOKED LIKE THE LACK OF POINT PRODUCTION
WOULD BE WHAT FINALLY SEALED THEIR FATE

BUT THEN SOMEHOW THE 'D' STEPPED UP
AND SCORED TWICE IN THE FINAL MINUTES
IT'S GOOD THEY DID BECAUSE 'TIL THE END
THE DETROIT LIONS WERE RIGHT THERE IN IT

THERE'S A ' BERMUDA TRIANGLE' SORT OF VORTEX
IN THAT DOME INHABITED BY THE VIKINGS
NO ONE ELSE CAN SEEM TO OVERCOME IT
AND GAMES TURN OUT TO MINNESOTA 'S LIKING

NOW IT'S OFF FOR A BYE WEEK ADVENTURE
WILL ZYGI'S ﾑCONDUCT POLICY' BE TESTED?
NO ONE AT WINTER PARK WILL BREATHE EASY
UNTIL THIS WEEK IS OVER-WITH NO ONE ARRESTED

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FROM THE JAWS OF AT LEAST A TIED UP SCORE
THE PACKERS AGAIN MANAGED TO SNATCH DEFEAT
AS THE PACKERS' PASS PROCTECTION FAILED BRETT FAVRE
AND THE BALL WOUND UP ROLLING AROUND HIS FEET

THE RAMS RECOVERED AND THAT WAS IT
ANOTHER PACKER COMEBACK BID WAS FOILED
AND A SHAME IT WAS FOR THE GREEN BAY TEAM
HAD WORKED TOO HARD TO HAVE IT SPOILED

THE OFFENSE MANAGED TO RUN PRETTY WELL
WITH ANOTHER FILL-IN TAKING UP THE LOAD
BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO MERELY MOVE THE BALL
AS THE FINAL SCOREBOARD CLEARLY SHOWED

THE DEFENSE PLAYED PRETTY WELL IN SPOTS SUNDAY
AND HAD SOME CHANCES TO TURN AROUND THIS GAME
BUT CHARLES WOODSON DROPPED AN INTERCEPTION
AND AL HARRIS DID THE SAME

IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT THIS FOOTBALL SEASON
AS THE PACKERS HAVE YET TO FIND THEIR STRIDE
MIKE MCCARTHY STILL HASN'T FOUND THE FORMULA FOR WINNING
DESPITE ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS HE'S TRIED

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE PACKERS WILL TRY DURING THIS WEEK OFF
TO COME UP WITH A PLAN THAT WILL NOT FAIL
WHILE THE VIKINGS' COACHES AND PLAYERS
DO THEIR BEST TO STAY OUT OF JAIL....
