A Christmas cadence
Twas Christmas morn, and all through the land
Shrieks of joy and laughter echoed, as children said, 无毛视频淚sn无毛视频檛 this grand?无毛视频�;
The presents were arranged around the tree with great care,
waiting for anxious youngsters to go on a tear;聽
Beleaguered, bleary-eyed moms and dads, with coffee cups filled to the brim,
Grabbed a seat and relaxed, cameras at the ready, as the unwrapping was about to begin;聽
The dog knew better, so did the cat,
as the family pets hid away to their soft bedding mat;
While kids, eyes awonder, take to unwrapping their gifts,
Athletes, big kids at heart, also take to the swift;
Tiger Woods proclaimed he无毛视频檚 back, so what could be under his tree?
The gift is small, he said, wonder what it could be?
He delicately takes off the paper, doing so with ease,
Then he sees a book title, by Arnold Palmer, 无毛视频淎 Life Well Played: My Stories,无毛视频�
The attached card said, 无毛视频淭ake this to heart,无毛视频�
无毛视频淭he knowledge 无毛视频楾he King无毛视频� did impart;无毛视频�
Meanwhile, Big Ben sees a gift with his name perched on spent wrapping paper,
He wonders aloud, 无毛视频淚 hope it无毛视频檚 not another ice scraper;无毛视频�
Big Ben chuckles at his 无毛视频渇unny无毛视频� as he tears at the wrapping,
As his family takes notice and takes to clapping;
Wire-rimmed glasses and a silk cloth appear,
His children say, 无毛视频淚t无毛视频檚 Harry Potter无毛视频檚 invisibility cloak so you can disappear!无毛视频�
They exclaimed, 无毛视频淧ut it on in the huddle before each play,
无毛视频淎nd the Raven defense won无毛视频檛 see you, you无毛视频檒l stay out their way!无毛视频�
Down south, Andrew McCutchen wonders what he received,聽
As he delicately picks up the box and gives it a squeeze,
The gift was simple and right to the matter,
A team and pitching staff worthy of such a grand batter.
As it would be, Christmas was underway at the house of Gerrit Cole,
The fire-balling pitcher was eating cereal, so he set down his bowl,
He picked up the closest gift, wrapped in Pirate Black and Gold,
Gerrit became 10 again as grasped the paper with a good hold;
What无毛视频檚 this, he said with a query,
The attached card said, 无毛视频淏e not weary,无毛视频�
无毛视频淜eep throwing those strikes, and don无毛视频檛 lose your edge,
无毛视频淎nd, this to you, I will pledge,
无毛视频淭he wins will come as the fans cheer louder,
无毛视频淎nd you无毛视频檙e fiery-nature will make you ever so prouder.无毛视频�
Jaromir Jagr is on his porch, lounging in the sun,
Taking a holiday break from NHL games and his fun;
He has a box in hand, carefully marked 无毛视频淗andle with care,无毛视频�
Curious, Jaromir daintily pulled away the paper as he said a prayer;
A small bottle, what could this be?
He spun the glass so the label he could see,
无毛视频淧once de Leon无毛视频檚 Fountain of Youth,无毛视频� he read to himself,
无毛视频淥h, that Santa, what a grand elf!无毛视频�
Instructions read, 无毛视频淭ake one teaspoon a day and you无毛视频檒l be so frisky,
无毛视频淵ou will keep playing hockey until you reach 50!无毛视频�
Back at home near the Three Rivers,
Anxious Steeler fans are all a-quiver,
Some received cards, others an envelope,
Saying with a laugh, 无毛视频淲ell, at least it无毛视频檚 not a cantaloupe!无毛视频�
Shouts of glee fill the room when the contents are espied,
Steeler tickets, is it true?, I无毛视频檓 going to die!
For those lucky fans and all the others,
Just one simple wish for the dads and moms and sisters and brothers,
At Heinz Field, the Steelers无毛视频� home and haven,
Where they无毛视频檒l meet the dreaded Ravens,
To show the team from Baltimore an un-Christmaslike time,
And bring home a win, so the AFC North title bells will chime,
For a victory means another title and playoff appearance,
And a long ride home for the Ravens, good riddance!
Whatever this wonderful (snow-free day) may hold for you and your families and friends, on behalf of the 无毛视频-Standard sports department staff, I无毛视频檇 like to wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and great holiday season. GO STEELERS!!!!
