Going to the Patriots Parade

(Wish us luck on the trains.)

A short rhyme today...  Gotta run.

I've promised to pick up my son;

Go to the parade

To thank those who played

The Super Bowl New England's won

Hold The Duck Boats

So glad the parade's postponed or I'd be out of luck.

I can't even make it up my driveway yet; I'm stuck.

Hoped to use commuter rail for getting into town

But the snow has caused delays and shut the Red Line down.

Even if I made it up my drive before it's dark,

I can't take my car to Boston.  There's no place to park.

Hopefully tomorrow morning's trains are not delayed

And I'll make it into town in time for the parade.

If I cannot make it though, I want the Pats to know

Don't be fooled tomorrow if the turnout's slightly low.

It won't be because New England fans don't love our team;

Likes of which all other NFL fans only dream.

Thank you Malcolm Butler; thanks Tom Brady...  Mr. Kraft.

Thank you Coach Bill Belichick - a master of his craft.

Please believe there's millions who would like to offer thanks

You just might not see us all behind these huge snowbanks.

Congratulations to My World Champion New England Patriots

(Not mad anymore Bro.)

"Cue the duck boats" and confetti; then strike up the band.

Patriots have just been crowned the best team in the land.

Seahawks made it much too close...  They had it on the 1

But, for reasons unbeknownst to me, they didn't run.

When Seattle's Russell Wilson tried to throw a pass

Butler's goal line interception saved New England's ass.

Vindication for the weeks of listening to crap

Came when Brady took a knee after the final snap.

Ten years since their last parade but this makes number 4

Belichick and Brady won (in case you're keeping score.)

There is joy throughout New England, but there's also snow.

Hope the plows can do their job 'cause we intend to go.
