A NUTTY SEASON, by                    
First Line: Who are the football champions? Who are the
Last Line: For which is best when all the best were tumbled, tossed, and whaled?
Subject(s): Football


WHO are the football champions? Who are the matchless knights
Entitled to assume the crown of brightest gridiron lights?
The greatest critics of them all could study all the teams,
And see more crazy mixups than they'd view in opium dreams!
For each team walloped some one else and in turn was downed,
Each conqueror was at the top, then battered to the ground—
For A beat B, and B beat C, then C just murdered A,
Enough complexity to turn a football student gray!
Consistency was tossed away, and standard playing form
Would sparkle just a little while, then sink before the storm!
The man who thinks he knows the best—that bozo should be jailed,
For which is best when all the best were tumbled, tossed, and whaled?
