A sonnet for the 'skins
This was in response to a challenge on the DC Sports Bog
"To a young Squire"
In seasons past, the Redskins would reverse
The end-around, and thereby win a game--
But now we Redskins fans can only curse
A team that once was proud, but now is lame.
Eliminated now, they can begin
To understand the wherefores of their plight--
In learning how one lost, one learns to win
By knowing what went wrong and what went right.
O Daniel Snyder in your lux'ry box,
Hear now these words of wisdom from a fan:
Free Agents are expensive building blocks;
For personnel, a team must have a plan!
Though you can purchase Burgundy with Gold,
Remember: vict'ry can't be bought or sold.
