Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the blog
Not a blogger was writing, he was out drinking egg nog
Athletes all over; shoelaces looped, swooped, and tied tight
Wait, no they’re not , except in Hawaii tonight
Detroit fans are turning to the bottle to deal with depression
Seeing our teams not in the playoff pictures is quite the regression
Still in our jerseys, waving our teams’ flags with pride
When the Pistons scored 64 last night I nearly lost my shit and cried
Woke up this morning & looked in the mirror, my hair messy with a cow lick
I felt the drinks from the prior night and instantly grew sick
Thoughts of spending time with family near the Christmas tree is the ultimate cure
Did you know Matthew Stafford was placed on the IR for the rest of the year?
The Lions on Sunday hope Stanton will lead them to victory
It’s his first start in the league, why? It’s a mystery
Pistons riddled with injuries, and Red Wings too
Both teams hope players returning will ignite the crew
Now Rip, Now Gordon, Now Tayshaun, & Franzen
On Zetterberg, On Williams, On Flippula & Ericcson
To return to the lineup! To return very soon!
Now play! Now play! Play until June!
Then I whipped out my laptop and gave it a boot
Reported some news, upped page views, and made me some loot
Forget all that for now, it’s so far out of sight
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!
