Cleveland Fight Poem

The last time Cleveland won it all
I really can't remember
The fact that I was only 4
(My birthday's in December)

They beat a team from Baltimore
By scoring 27
The Colts were blanked and Collins ruled
(I'll bet that game was heaven)

Since 19 hundred 64
We've never won the biggie
It's not because our teams have stunk
(I wonder what it could be?)

I do not want to downplay
The soccer team we had
Who won 3 championships
In the 90's which wasn't bad

But We don't follow soccer
Our games are the big 3
That's baseball, football, basketball
(I'm sure you will agree)

We've had many chances
Let's talk first about the Tribe
Who, back in the mid 90's
Gave us a real good vibe.

With names like Thome and Vizquel
And pitchers that excelled
We should have won the series
But in the end we yelled!

"Curse you Jose Mesa,
You should have closed the game."
But now instead of series champs
the outcome was the same.

Turning now to basketball
As you all ready know
Some superstar named Jordan
Could not be blocked by Craig Ehlo.

The shot it rang though out the land
And famous still today
We sunk our heads in agony
While Bulls fans yelled "Hooray!"

And even when a young LeBron
With a pretty good team
Got us to the finals for once
In the end they just lost steam.

The Browns in all their glory
Had great games on the field
"The Fumble, The Drive" and Elway
Made sure their fate was sealed.

Why do we put ourselves through this?
What is a REAL fan?
The person who still will back their team
Since losing first began.

The teams still fight and play their best
So why not do the same?
Unless you are fair weather fans
(and I think that's just lame!)

So cheer all Cleveland Sports fans
One day we'll win it all
Because we fought the good fight
(Words of Apostle Paul)

So keep on fighting Cleveland Cavs
and Browns and Indians too
We'll back you till the day we die
(or till our face turns blue)
