‘Twas Last Monday Night…
Steelers fans were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of 1st place danced in their heads.
The terrible towels had been hung up to dry
As they settled in for a nice 1st round bye.
When out of Candlestick there arose such a clatter,
Fans sprang from their beds to see what was the matter.
Two beatings from Harbaugh, they’d not planned on another
Slowly the nitwits realized -This one’s his brother!
They turned on their TV’s and started to groan
Such attention was paid, a transformer was blown
Soon the power came on and they could end the delay
In anticipation they waited for the Steelers to play
And what to their crying eyes did appear?
A lame, injured quarterback -was he filled with painkillers or beer?
The missed reads, the sacks, oh, the interceptions he threw
A gigantic nightmare, this they all knew
When the game ended, a silence fell across Steeler Nation
And they all suddenly came to one sad realization
They’d seen that their dreams of 1st place had sank
And all Playoff roads come through M&T Bank!!!
