Another Steeler Poem by Menudo

[Menudo]

Must admit I struggled this week. Not as much material.

 

In the Stadium named for the great Paul Brown,

The Steelers were prepared to hand out another beat-down;

The Bengals got the ball first, but to their dismay,

They couldn’t do anything and had to punt it away;

 

The Steelers took over and started moving with ease,

It started to look like we would win in a breeze;

But after two sacks, we were punting away,

It was clear from the beginning that these Cats came to play;

 

But the defense forced the Bengals to go 3 and out,

Randle El to the 17, we’ll get 6 here, no doubt;

But the Bengals continued to impress with their D,

The Steelers were stopped and settled for 3;

 

The Bengals took over, and started moving the ball,

They made it clear to the Steelers, they were in for a brawl;

Chad Johnson goes up and makes a great catch,

Then he preceded to do a solo sparring match;

 

Chad came through on his promise, did everyone bring their buck ?

If you did you got ripped off, because that dance sure did suck;

You asked your own fans to bring out their money,

But boy that was weak, at least T.O.’s are funny;

 

But the Bengals had the lead and Steeler fans were worried,

Especially with the way Big Ben was being hurried;

The offense answered back and moved into the red zone,

But a penalty and a sack put our points on postpone;

 

A nice punt by Gardocki put the Cats in the whole,

The Steelers needed to hold them and get on a roll;

For the Bengal fans in the stands, nothing was scarier,

Than seeing an interception and a touchdown by Farrior;

 

The Bengals bounced back with a drive of their own,

Carson hit Washington in the back of the endzone;

Cincy’s drive was impressive and made a statement to say,

Buckle up Steelers, because we came to play;

 

The Steelers offense again, proved ready to rumble,

But once in the Red Zone, Big Ben had a fumble;

That took us to the end of the half,

The boys were going to hear Bill Cowher’s wrath;

 

In the second half, both teams struggled moving the ball,

The defenses pressure, were putting the O’s to a stall;

But all of a sudden the Bus got it rolling,

He was knocking over defenders, like pins when he’s bowling;

 

Big Ben’s once again, looking like “The Man”,

A pass to Tuman and then a TD to Dan;

Kreider’s in the endzone, the Steelers are in the lead,

The extra point was put through by our kicker Jeff Reed;

 

The game was turned over to the Blitsburgh’s Big ‘D’,

The results were quite good, we’d have to agree;

This one wasn’t pretty, it was ugly, it’s true,

But we still go the win, which is what good teams must do;

 

Now its back to the Burgh for a date with the Skins,

8 Starts by Big Ben, and all of them wins;

The Steelers are 9-1 and all I can say is WOW,

As I go back to waving my terrible towel;

[alexgaddis]

no love for Burress getting injured?

[Skippy]

I'm glad this poem had a happy ending. Oh and the game as well. I knew that the Bungles were going to be there to play but who'd have though that was the toughest defense we would face in the past few week?

[Squeegiebo]

Once again -

 

You need to come up with a really, really good one after we destroy Skins' Skins.

[Chief Dick]

NOT relevant today.

[Bobby Brown]

Big Ben is hard to tackle, a deceiving escapist.

"Drats!" The D-line said.  "We must sack that rapist!"

[Big John]
