A poem for you guys


Potato Sack

Recommended Posts

I was watching some video online and had to write this down. I hope you all enjoy it!

The Show

I can smell the earth rising

The metal bouncing beneath my feet

The brass is blasting Hail

And the lights pop on when 44

Barrels in for 6

His smile is as bright

On the sideline today

As it is under the lights in Canton

As it was when we lifted

Another trophy into the sky

17 won us one

17, they say, might

“Leave us on the bottom of the barrel”

We like it that way

But I can smell the rebirth of victory

Resurrected on the sideline

Kneeling in prayer

Hoping that he hasn’t let us down

In the distance I hear

The words echoed in the air:

“We Want Dallas”

Just like it was years ago

And when 26 finally

Dances free to the goal line

Just before the show

I want to smell the earth rising

And the metal shaking

Beneath my feet

I never had the metal shake before my feet, but it must have felt good. Hail!

You may be too young to have ever been in the stands at RFK when the stands bounced up and down. Which I think is what Potato Sack might have been talking about. An awesome thing to witness from across the stadium. That entire section literally rocked. Or he might have been talking about how thousands of feet stomping on the metal flooring of the bleachers caused what felt and sounded like a mini-earthquake, with the stands shaking in a thunderous roar.

Mr. T (lol) I know what he was talking about. How can you be a Redskins fan and not know about Rockin' RFK?

Barrels in for 7

Ahhhh, the good ol' days when Touchdowns were worth 7...

But yeah, it's a good poem.

Good stuff, reminds me of the Torresa video where you see Doug Williams and Jason Campbell throwing TD passes simultaneously. You know what really ties our glorious past and our bright future together? The man on the sidelines running the show: Joe Gibbs!

:cheers:
