'Twas The Night...
Somehow the Lounge made it to our second annual Christmas post. Although it will never compare with the first one, I still extend my wishes to every Packer fan... in poetry.

'Twas The Night Before Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Bay
Not a creature was stirring expect McCarth-ay
His assignments were planned on the white board with care
In hopes Jarett Bush might someday be there
Dom was asleep in his over sized bed
As visions of prevents replayed in his head
And while Mason crabbed Kleenex, and Jolly drank sap
We all settled in for a long Green Bay nap.
When out in the night there arose such a clatter
It sounded like Clay making quarterbacks splatter
Away to the window I flew much like Will
And I opened the blinds and popped open the sill
I strained through the darkness to see just below
That the noise was coming from within Lambeau
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But undrafted wide outs clad in full gear
In front scowled a man gently down on one knee
I knew in an instant it must be... TT
More rapid than Donald directions they came
As he yelled and he shouted and called his own game
Run slants, run hooks, run double move hitches
Quit whining, quit crying, only babies need stitches
To the back of the zone, to the top of the wall
Lambeau leap, Lambeau leap, Lambeau leap all!
In the dead of the night he made those rooks fly
While from my cold window I figured they'd die
Up the stairs to the concourse those recruits they flew
Carrying all of Ted's presents after wrapping them too
Just then, on the field, formed an eye blinding glow
Refracting all over the fresh tundra snow
I squinted my eyes and looked out to the nigh'
As one Mr. Greg Jennings appeared from the sky
He was dressed all in fur as he came down to herald
No surprise making bank just like Larry Fitzgerald
His junk was slung over from shoulder to back
To keep the fresh powder from freezing his sack
He said not a word but went straight to his work
Torching those rookies with merely a smirk
Then down on one knee with a finger up high
He winked one more time and rose back to the sky
Ted would just stare, take pause, blow his whistle
And those recruits left town as fast as a missile
He paused for a moment his face filled with glee
Then rose from the turf brushing snow from the knee
But I heard him exclaim as his feet hit the ground
Nice job, not too bad, second pick... second round
Merry Christmas to everyone who comes around and makes this place what it is... a poor excuse for a Packer site.
See you Sunday.
