I love it! This is about the best gloating I have heard. Giants bound to the earth cannot reach the eagles no matter how hard they try. And what do eagles care as they soar so high about it. I'll bet the Eagles would love to hear your victory poem.

Thank you, Debi - Lee had been trash talking all day. I couldn't resist gloating when my team slaughtered his :-) Brooke

Is that a warrior Eagle's cry I hear, or is it the sound of something crowing!
Yay team! My condolences to Lee. Looks like the Giants got toppled.

Excellent as usual. Even if you are gloating over your team taking the win. At least that is what I get from the author's notes. Excellent work. Rhyme scheme is right on and the reader could read into the poem what they chose to see in it.

And eagles only know to soar is a positive line that fits the end of the poem. You have a strong steady beat and a smooth flow of verses. A wonderful football poem.

So, I take it from reading the reviews (I'm so clued out when it comes to sports) that this is Brooke with the salt shaker and Lee with the wound? LOL!

Hilarious! 'Ouch', but hilarious.

Av, thank you, and yes, you are right. He was trash talking against my beloved Eagles all day long, and the Eagles and Giants have a time-honored rivalry. I had to defend their honor and then of course gloat over their run away victory. LOL :-) Brooke

Not a clue what the author's notes are referring to and don't want to know. Ha
The poem tells the story well.
Very interesting take on winners and losers. Many on this site would be happy to see the giants and eagles both drop. Too bad they don't realize they need to work harder to soar up there with them instead of shooting them down.

I'm not a gracious winner either. I'm not quite talented enough to write an 'in your face' poem like this one. I read it to my husband and he thought it was hilarious. Good job and though I am a Carolina Panthers fan, congratulations. Gretchen

Thanks so much, Gretchen. If you know Humpwhistle, you'll know he has a terrific sense of humor, so gloating and teasing is something I could do without fear of hurting anyone's feelings :-) Brooke
