Osprey
|
Osprey is hungry—
had the niner,
tattooed and tough,
but that meal wasn’t
enough.
So, says he,
it’s off to New York,
feels like I could
eat a horse.

Ok,
so I am having a bit of fun. The
Seahawks beat the 49ers for the NFC Championship and are going to Superbowl
XLVIII to face the Broncos! The seahawk
is another name for the bird of prey the osprey.
Uh-oh...I am afraid I am with the horse on this one ;)
ReplyDeleteI won't hold it against you Keith ;)
Deletehahahaha...nice...best of luck to your team...other than your cornerback...ugh, his behavior after the game left a lot to be desired...it should be a good game....
ReplyDeleteThanks Bri :D As great of an athlete as Sherm is he does talk some smack! Professional athletes aren't always the role models we wish they were. But, thankfully there are the likes of Wilson, Okung, Maragos, and Gresham. Thanks for the good wishes, should be fun!
Deletebeing a 9'er fan, I have to side with the hooves on this one. ~
ReplyDeleteI thought you might say that ;)
DeleteHa, let the best team win!!
ReplyDeleteBest O vs. Best D...should be a good game. Go Hawks!!
DeleteLove that light poetry! And this one brought a smile. I read it to my husband, the football fanatic, and he laughed out loud. Thanks for the heads-up regarding the prompt at Poetry Jam. I did it - and it seems to have worked. I tried linking once before (at another site) and managed to create an utter techno-goof tangle. But this one was easy-breezy - even for me. So, thanks again.
ReplyDeleteGlad that worked out and you were able to join in at PJ. That poem you wrote was too good not to share!
DeleteMy goodness, I'm glad you included the explanatory note! I don't follow football at all, but good luck to your team; any team named after such a remarkable bird must be worth rooting for!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shay. I agree, the osprey is a remarkable raptor!
Delete'Tis my wish... the "Seahawks" are fulfilled! _m.
ReplyDeleteThanks M! Skittles for you!
Deletegosh, I laughed when I read this. Congrats on Seattle's win. Retribution for last year's disappointment huh? I was cheering for the 49er's BTW...oh, well.there's always next year!
ReplyDeleteOh Janet, Janet...I think you need some football rehab! ;-) I will direct you to the Making of a Champion video...like 15 mins long or so. Ha!
Deleteyou're funny:) thanks for the chuckle on a blizzard-ly eve in southern Ontario!
ReplyDeleteA little fun, hon...http://anotherporch.blogspot.ca/2014/01/twas-night-before-superbowl-2014.html
