The first paragraph had no rhyme either- But a C- for effort

spacecrime

his coverage skills are phenomenal you see
and his measureables excite me
you will regret the day you let him be
especially if you choose Paul P.

No changes are needed. It already rhymes.

me rhymes with knee, paul poluz(knee). I believe that's how its pronounced.
As for the quality of the actual poetry... well no comment.

Here's a short poem.

Patriots draft will be great.
Bills suck, Jets suck.
Don't count on a 1st round linebacker mate.
Fins suck, Colts suck.
This forum's football poetry is barely 3rd rate.

Thank you, I'll be here all day.

Thanks for this taste of excellence. (Not sure it belongs here!) My favorite line of this thread is still Ironwasp's "I'll get my coat"!

heres one I wrote about Gostkowski:

Well his kickoffs weren't going as deep,
and during the offseason we felt his price tag was too steep,
So we let good old Adam Vinatieri go.

The naysayers claimed that the Pats were done,
but for Pats fans the draft weekend is always fun,
Our placekicker for next year, the fans did not know.

With a pick in the 4th round there came a hopeful light,
A man who played college ball in Memphis (That's right)
Selected was Stephen Gostkowski, just a regular joe?

In training camp there was a competition to see,
Between the rook and Mar-teen, the placekicker to be.
After all was said and done, Stephen was good to go.

Throughout the season, Rook had his ups and downs,
misses early, but brought the whole city of San Diego down,
All Pats fans should feel comfy with "The Ghost" kicking and Tom Brady ready to throw!

My turn...ahem...

"Jack and Jill went up the hill,

Each with a buck and a quarter.

Jill came down with two-fifty."

Or how about:

"Little Boy Blue,

He needed the money."

Thank you, thank you very much...I'll be here 'til Thursday...Try the veal.

On a more serious note...Space's homage to Gilligan's Island was awesome, and I think that Justin Blalock is the 2nd-best OLineman in the draft. If this were 2005, I would take him over Mankins and Khalif Barnes.

There was a moment last night when I thought this thread was about to prove the old saying that if you give typewriters to 1,000 monkeys one of them will eventually produce Hamlet.

I thought Spacecrime's poet was a decent effort and I liked the wee haiku thing, but it all seems to have gone off the boil a little since then.

Damn! For a second there I thought there was a poetry forum.

Get invited to many parties? Loosen your tie, undo the top button, and temporarily shelve the draft analysis. It's a Pats-related poetry slam -- didn't you get the memo?
