Poem 102: Superbowl Sunday

We were all out early Sunday morning, thanks to “Mother Nature”

Thanks for all the snow she dropped, it turned into an adventure

We ended up doing our own driveway and helping neighbours out

In the “Great White North” that’s what it’s all about

We all thought we had dodged yet another snow squall warning

Thought we were in the clear until we woke up yesterday morning

We had some light snow on the two days just before

But come Sunday morning there was a hell of a lot more

So most of us were out there in the cool crisp air

The sound of all the snow blowers could be heard everywhere

When you have the right equipment you should get the job done soon

We started off in mid morning and finished up in the afternoon

I wanted this to be over with, you see I had another goal

I had planned to watch two hockey games before the “Super Bowl”

I watched the “Flyers” and the Caps with “Philadelphia” getting the win

When this one was finished, the “Blackhawks” and “Stars” game was to begin

This game went into overtime and “Chicago” beat “Dallas” two to one

This is the first overtime game this season that the “Hawks” finally won

The football game was not for another hour, so I had a little break

Even though I had been up since six am I was still wide awake

I went into this game thinking the “Chiefs” were the team to beat

There was no way that this team would end up in defeat

I guess I thought they looked so good when they beat my “Bills” two weeks before

Never thought they would get in the championship game and not get a T.D. score

“Tampa Bay” looked so dominating in every aspect of the game

“Tom Brady” won his seventh on his way to the “Hall of Fame”

When you watch this game, you have to watch the commercials too!

Were there any ones I liked? I admit there was quite a few

“Brady” won the “MVP” and now has his seventh ring

Will he call it a career, and make this his final fling?

Commentators are talking like he is coming back next year

This could be a fitting way to end a storied career

The NFL had a few glitches, Covid 19 was the reason

Even though they had lots of bumps,  they made it through the season

There were no delays from the start and they finished on their scheduled time

For every other major sports, it’s been an uphill climb

I thought the football season would have been affected most of all

This I predicted when it started in the fall

I thought it was a “no brainer” when the season did begin

Of course I’m the same guy who picked the “Chiefs” to win

I am hoping that the vaccine for this virus will thrive and do its thing

A sign that things are close to normal would be having baseball start this spring
