These Are My JOTtings...

Tom Brady

Why play the teams as cat plays mouse?
Why brag of ev’ry kind of prowess?
Why'm I opp'site of Santa Clouse?
'Cause nobody's good as me!

I take the trophies from your team!
I do it 'cause I'm really mean!
I play like I am gettin' creamed,
then pull the rug away!

I eat your PETA list for lunch!
The flying animals a bunch!
The Seahawks, Falcons, Eagles,...CRUNCH!
'Cause nobody's good as me!

That Santa Clause is just a wimp,
Gives people things like clothes and shrimp.
I take things 'til their hope is limp
on Super Bo-owl Day!

The kiddies, dads and grandfolks, too,
Would share my rings before I'm through
With Panthers, Jags and Rams as due,
But that will never be!

I've been in Super Bowls before,
The last sixteen with eight in store.
I'll ask my Mama for one more,
She can't say, "No!" to me.

I'm better than the greats of old,
Bob Griese, Tarkington I'm told
Could not their records from me hold.
I'm great! What can I say!

You think Marino had his day?
He did, but still my records play!
Montana, Aikman and Elway,...
They're not as good as me!

Just check the list of current teams!
I'm # 1 in stats by reams!
Of all the quarterbacks it seems
There's nobody as good as me!

Of quarterbacks throughout the years,
I'm #1 above all jeers!
I own the history books it's clear!
I leave all in dismay!

The Brady Show will come real soon!
Eclipse the sun just like the moon!
The Eagles fear the coming doom
Upon next Suh-un-day!

But where is Philly? My, Oh My!
Next door to N-Y-C, Oh, Why?
The Giants made me twice to cry,
And come in second place.

The Curse of 51 I fight
To lead the league in yards by might
And win the Super Bowl seems trite,
But really, I'm so great!

The Eagles flock me like The Birds!
I'll throw the football and my words!
They're winning! O, how quite absurd!
I'll look for Amendola!

I'm Rocky with a football suit.
I act like just a little Groot,
Until the fans against me root,
and then I'm for the birds.

I know you're hoping that I'll "choke,"
To be a loser, just a joke
To have some fun at me to poke,
But always I'm the best!

I want you all to love me so!
Remember me where'er you go,
And teach your children me to know,...
Tom Brady's on display!
