THIS WEEK THE VIKINGS CLEARED A HURDLE
AS THE BYE WEEK CAME AND WENT WITHOUT A FUSS
WHILE IT MADE THE COACH AND 'PR' PEOPLE HAPPY
IT SORT OF DISAPPOINTED A LOT OF US

BUT NOW THEY ARE BACK UP IN THE SADDLE
HEADING WEST TO CHALLENGE THE SEAHAWKS
WITH WHOM THE VIKES HAD SOME FREE-AGENT TUSSLES
LEADING TO SOME SERIOUS RULE-CHANGE TALKS

THE 'HAWKS COME IN AT FOUR AND ONE
A RESPECTABLE START FOR ANY GROUP
BUT ALEXANDER'S FOOT AND POOR O-LINE PLAY
HAD CAUSED SEATTLE 'S RUNNING GAME TO DROOP

MATT HASSELBECK HOWEVER IS LOOKING GOOD
AND DEION BRANCH HAS QUICKLY BECOME'THE GUY'
THE SEAHAWKS' DEFENSE IS STRONG AND STOUT
AND WILL DARE THE VIKINGS TO GIVE THEM A TRY

THE VIKES' OFFENSE IS LIMPING ALONG
THOUGH TAYLOR PROVIDES THE RUNNING GAME THEY SEEK
BUT IT TOOK TWO DEFENSIVE SCORES TO BEAT THE LIONS
AND THEY CAN'T COUNT ON THAT EACH WEEK

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

WELL-THE LEAGUE FINALLY MADE IT HAPPEN
KOREN ROBINSON WAS SUSPENDED FOR A YEAR
IT'S NOT A SURPRISE TO ANYONE BUT HIM
THOUGH WHY THAT SHOULD BE ISN'T VERY CLEAR

THIS WEEK THE PACKERS TRAVEL TO PLAY THE DOLPHINS
ANOTHER ONE-WIN TEAM THAT ISN'T VERY GOOD
THEY'LL PROVIDE GREEN BAY WITH THEIR SECOND WIN
OR AT THE VERY LEAST THEY SHOULD

THOSE FINS WILL THROW OUT JOEY HARRINGTON
AS DAUNTE CULPEPPER ONCE MORE WILL 'RIDE THE PINE'
WHAT A MISTAKE FOR THE DOLPHINS' MANAGMENT
TO BELIEVE THAT HIS KNEE WAS FINE

THE PACKERS DIDN'T GET MUCH TIME OFF
EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE COMING OFF THEIR 'BYE'
COACH MCCARTHY FELT IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE PRACTICE
AND IT'S HARD TO FAULT HIS REASONS WHY

THE RUNNING GAME HAS BEEN SPOTTY
AND THE PASSING GAME HAS BEEN AS WELL
HAS THE DEFENSE ADDRESSED IT'S PROBLEMS?
ONLY TIME WILL TELL.......

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

THE SEAHAWKS REALLY ARE THE BETTER TEAM
AND THEY'LL BE SEND THE VIKES DOWN TO DEFEAT
WHILE THE PACKERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO WIN SUNDAY
IF THEY CAN SURVIVE THE STIFLING MIAMI HEAT
