Lewis Christmas

[Bengals29]

Twas the night before Christmas

in a Nati that I know

the stadium was empty

and the lights did not glow

The uniforms hung

in the lockers with pride

with the helmets, with tiger strips

all around

The players and coaches

had been gone for a while

I sent them home early

with a holiday smile

So I cleared off my desk

and was ready to leave

to spend time at home

on this Christmas eve

When out by the lockers

I heard a loud clatter

I ran from the office

to see what was the matter

I ran down the hall

just as fast as can be

and stopped at the door

I was trying to see

I heard some walking

some concern did this cause

then I gasped when I saw,

It was Santa Claus

He was dressed not in red

but in orange trimmed with black

and I watched as he pulled

all the gifts from his sack

Some fumbles, some picks,

and some sacks for the "D"

and a ball for Carson Palmer

that flies as straight as can be

The receivers got touchdowns

a long bomb for Chad Johnson

and a defensive back

for Rudi to run over

Every player and coach

got a gift of some kind

but what would he leave me?

Lots of thoughts crossed my mind

I watched as he carried

his bag down the hall

but he started to leave

and he left me nothing at all

So with fire in my eyes

and spit on my lip

I yelled 'cross the room

"hey man what’s your trip?"

"I watched as you gave

all those gifts to my crew

but you're giving me nothing

what wrong did I do?"

He turned and he smiled

and he said just one thing

"When you get to Detroit,

you'll get your Super Bowl Ring!"
