How in the world did the Packers and Vikings wind up tied for first? Keep and eye on this race and watch as the contender separates from the pretender.....While the Colts try to turn Lambeau into 'Peyton's Place'-the Vikes go into Soldier Field, which isn't always kind to them............

THE VIKINGS WERE PREPARED FOR LION HUNTING
IN THE METRODOME LAST WEEKEND
BUT INSTEAD OF THE BLOWOUT THEYD ENVISIONED
MINNESOTA TRAILED AS THE GAME NEARED ITS END

IT TOOK AN INTERVENTION BY A ZEBRA
TO CURE THE WAY THE VIKES WERE PLAYING BALL
HELPING TO SET UP A WINNING FIELD GOAL
WITH A SOMEWHAT QUESTIONABLE CALL

THE LIONS MADE SOME BIG MISTAKES
BUT THE VIKINGS MADE PLENTY OF THEM TOO
AND IF THAT CONTINUES SUNDAY AGAINST THE BEARS
BRAD CHILDRESS AND HIS TEAM ARE SCREWED

CHICAGO'S TEAM IS WAITING FOR THE VIKES
LOOKING FOR THE CHANCE TO EVEN UP THE SCORE
FROM LAST YEAR'S GAME WHEN PETERSON RAN WILD
THEY WONT LET THAT HAPPEN LIKE BEFORE

WITH KYLE ORTON UNDER THE CENTER
AND YOUNG MATT FORTE RUNNING WITH THE BALL
CHICAGO HAS EARNED THE TOP SPOT IN THE DIVISION
AND THATS BEEN A SURPRISE TO ALL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS' THIRD-STRING QUARTERBACK
HAPPENS TO BE A YOUNG MAN NAMED CHARLIE FRYE
AND WHEN INJURIES DICATED THAT HE BE THE STARTER
HE STEPPED IN TO GIVE IT HIS BEST TRY

BUT HE WASN'T ABLE TO PULL OFF THE UPSET
DESPITE THE EFFORT HIS TEAMMATES DISPLAYED
LEAVING THE FANS OF THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS TEAM
DISTRAUGHT AND SOMEWHAT DISMAYED

NOW IT'S A LEAP FROM FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE
AS THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS ARE NEXT IN LINE
WHILE MANNING'S KNEE SLOWED THEM JUST A BIT
LAST WEEK'S GAME SHOWED THAT HE'S FEELING FINE

THE COLTS ARE PLAYING MORE LIKE EXPECTED
AND ARE GETTING THEIR SEASON BACK ON TRACK
AND WHILE GOOD NEWS FOR THE TEAM AND FANS
IT'S NOT SO GOOD FOR RODGERS AND THE PACK

THE PACKERS DEFENSE WILL HAVE ITS HANDS FULL
AS PEYTON WILL OFTEN PUT THE BALL IN THE AIR
AND THE COLTS DEFENSE WILL DO ITS LEVEL BEST
TO ASSURE PACKERS' FANS A DEEP SENSE OF DESPAIR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE BEARS ARE BETTER THAN THE LIONS WERE
AND THE VIKES WILL SOON FIND THAT IS TRUE
WHILE THE PACKERS WILL HAVE TO BRING THEIR "A" GAME
TO KEEP THE FAITHFUL FROM FEELING BLUE
