A Lament for the LA Football Fan

Debby Alten
Woe to the stadium
Filled with dust and gloom
Ode for a quarterback
No kickers loom

Woe to the seats
Without fans or cheers
Cry for a defense
No body fears

Woe to Hail Mary's
For the wide receivers
Fourth and goal
No fumble retrievers

Woe to the Bucs
With the O and six season
Come to LA
No crime for treason

There is no football in LA
No Brett, no Peyton, no Curt
No pay!
We lament, lament for football in LA
