DEE-LIGHTFUL VERSE

The Dees have done it,

They’ve goddam won it.

A drought no more,

By a record score,

Their win historic,

The fans euphoric.

Never again

Shame and pain,

After 57 years,

No more tears.

The grand old flag

Now in the bag,

Flying on high

In the western sky.

A dream come true

For the red and the blue.

For heroes gone,

Their champs all shone,

Though no one starker

Than Christian Petracca.

A brilliant game,

Glory, joy and fame.

The drought now broken,

The Demons have spoken.

Every heart beats true,

Yes, we always knew.
