NOT A MAN TO GLOAT

By Dan Donlan, www.PoetryPoem.com/dandy1    Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime

Stand over a fallen foe and gloat
So wife said you have to get a
memento from the Superbowl.
I'm not wearing number 3
or number 24 I'm not Wilson
or am I, "The Beast", lynch, I'm Dandy
But there I am standing in line
with two dozen other Seahawk fans,
when this dude walks up and for a moment**
Trying to appear inconspicuous,and yet--
Underneath his coat an orange Bronco appears.
Now those who know me know I would say
only something nice and in a quiet way.
As he was trying to sneak his Seahawk purchases
I said loudly, "I like it when a man doesn't Welsh
on a bet. How long do you have to wear them?"
To which he sheepishly said, "For a week!"
I said, "Last year I wore San Francisco wear
for three days and then used them to wash my car."
He glared at me as I bought three more t-shirts
I could really get into this gloating


**Is using the word Welsh prejudice? I still owe
San Francisco three days and well never wear Husky
garb. Or is it welch after all.
