I didn't write this. It was emailed to me but I'd figure I'd share it with the Steelers Fans

 

 

BILL COWHER'S NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

 

 

Twas the night before Christmas

 

in a 'Burgh that I know

 

the stadium was empty

 

and the lights did not glow.

 

 

 

The uniforms hung

 

in the lockers with pride

 

with the helmets, with emblems

 

on only one side.

 

 

 

The players and coaches

 

had been gone for a while

 

I sent them home early

 

with a holiday smile.

 

 

 

So I cleared off my desk

 

and was ready to leave

 

to spend time at home

 

on this Christmas eve.

 

 

 

When out by the lockers

 

I heard a loud clatter

 

I ran from the office

 

to see what was the matter.

 

 

 

I ran down the hall

 

just as fast as can be

 

and stopped at the door

 

I was trying to see.

 

 

 

I heard some walking

 

some concern did this cause

 

then I gasped when I saw,

 

It was Santa Claus.

 

 

 

He was dressed not in red

 

but in gold trimmed with black

 

and I watched as he pulled

 

all the gifts from his sack.

 

 

 

Some fumbles, some picks,

 

and some sacks for the "D"

 

and a ball for Jeff Reed

 

that flies as straight as can be.

 

 

 

The receivers got touchdowns

 

a long bomb for Big Ben

 

and a defensive back

 

for the BUS to smash in.

 

 

 

Every player and coach

 

got a gift of some kind

 

but what would he leave me?

 

Lots of thoughts crossed my mind.

 

 

 

I watched as he carried

 

his bag down the hall

 

but he started to leave

 

and he left me nothing at all.

 

 

 

So with fire in my eyes

 

and spit on my lip

 

I yelled 'cross the room

 

"hey man whats your trip?

 

 

 

"I watched as you gave

 

all those gifts to my crew

 

but you're giving me nothing

 

what wrong did I do?"

 

 

 

He turned and he smiled

 

and he said just one thing

 

"When you get to Jacksonville,

 

you'll get your Super Bowl Ring!"
