It’s late on a Saturday afternoon and I am trying to put a poem to pen
My deadline for creating one is coming even closer again
I want to watch the “Blackhawks and “Leafs” game tonight
Which only affords me only a couple of hours to get it done right
I want to be able to watch it all from the opening faceoff and through
Procrastinating all week is something I am in the habit to do
Not that this past seven days is any different from the ones before
When I finish a poem, I always plan to write even more
I never seem to accomplish this and I only have myself to blame
Now I’m trying to rush this one out before they start tonight’s game
Tomorrow there are two football games that I plan to see
After the hockey game finishes who knows how well I will be?
The “Leafs” are the superior team and are playing great once again this year
If my “Hawks” want to be competitive, they’ll have to step it up another gear
The status of these two franchises has taken quite a turn
If my team wins tonight it will certainly be earned
Tomorrow the “Buffalo Bills” play “Brady” in Tampa Bay
Then I’ll watch the “Grey Cup” championship to finish off my day
I am picking the eastern “Ticats” to win in this final quest
They should beat the “Blue Bombers” who are representing the west
The fact that they get to play at home should help them in this way
Even though there will lots of western supporters to watch the “Bombers” play
The CFL will be done but the NFL has five weeks to go
I thought the “Bills” were “shoe ins” but now I don’t know
They haven’t been consistent and dominating as they were
They have a tough schedule so now I’m not sure
They’ll have to play their best games in order to stay in this race
It’s going to be hard for them to retain second place
These next five games they will have to prove who they really are
If they want to succeed they will have to raise the bar
They looked like they could be a dynasty with a little tweak
Their running backs lately have looked a little weak
The way they have been playing lately is causing some alarm
This team has become dependent on “Josh Allen’s” arm
Tomorrow, “Tom Brady” is the man they have to beat
They can’t afford to leave Florida with another defeat
I figured they had this division and it wouldn’t be hard
Now they are fighting to get into the “wild card”
Tomorrow will show if they have their “mojo” back
Hopefully it’s not too late to get this team back on track
I managed to finish this poem before the hockey game somehow
Now it’s all set to go on Monday morning now
Next week for sure, I will start to write some more in advance
Who am I kidding? There isn’t a chance
