'Twas The Night Before Playoffs

By Coach Tierney

'Twas the night before playoffs
And all around the turf,

Not a trash talker posted,
Not even Murph!

The fans were all packing
Their burgers and beer,
In hopes that their team would make the finals this year!

Old Coach had been quiet,
Not much to be said,
Brandon had started to think Roy was dead!

But Roy had been studying
Films of the games,
So many new players,
Coach needed their names!

He combed through the tapes
Well into the night.
These were the playoffs,
Roy had to be right!

Coach sat with his Ho-Ho's
And 2 liters of Dew,
Just like Miss Cleo,
Old Roy would see true!

Neck will try magic,
They'll think he's a wino!
He's trying to change
A fish to a Rhino!

Myron's will play hard,
They want the cup west.
But Chapple, the Pistol
And Steele are the Best!

Estate will win big,
They'll laugh and they'll sing
Paint It Black
And they'll go to the Doghouse
For 15 cent wings!

The Banana was bruised,
By the boys from Estate,
But 12 North's bench
Can some tension create!

The game starts at seven,
The Green will be great!
Yellow has trouble,
If Pioneers run late!

Harter will no doubt
Make many great saves!
But who can stop Brandon,
When a goal's what he craves?

They call Team 5 Champs,
And like that they'll play,
But the Cup stays at 12 North,
At least on Thursday!

And I saw Dave Cloz shoot,
And the ball's movin' quick!
And I thought for a moment,
He must be Saint Nick!.....

...or maybe Eric Cartman,
With a nasty lax stick!
