The St. Louis Rams: Hope Springs Eternal

Hope Springs Eternal

We expected so much

From our beloved Rams

Instead the highlights

There's only smack cams...

******

This team so promising

Was it all an illusion?

Reaching the playoffs

Just a delusion?

******

The hype was amazing

How could we resist?

What we need now,

Is to cease and desist...

******

We were not told

And there was no lie

Our own expectations,

Were way too high...

******

Being a Rams fan

For forty plus years

Means many gray hairs

And too many beers...

******

Sure we are peeved

Who wouldn't be?

As are Fisher, Long,

Sam, and Ogletree...

******

Fans are all angry

Curse every breath

It's only football,

Not life and death...

******

We miss you Steven

And your thousand a year

The running game now?

We watched it disappear...

******

The Rams vets' play

Is not up to par

Each needs to rise

And play like a star...

******

Dear Sam Bradford

The vultures circle near

They're starting to call it,

A make or break year...

******

When is the draft?

We need some OLine

Two in the first

And we'll be just fine...

******

Mikell and Dunbar

Meant more than we know

The defense is struggling

Has reached a new low...

******

DA and Gibson

Yes them too

The rookies haven't figured

Out what to do...

******

OC's and DC's

Schemes and plans

Who knows better

Than us Rams fans?

******

We applauded the Fish

At seven, eight and one

Now one and three

And Jeff should be done?

******

Doom and gloom

No reason to cheer

Oh, wait one minute

It's only quarter of the year...

******

Four games do not

A whole season make

After the bye in two twelve

We left teams in our wake...

******

The second year

Of a four year plan

It'll test the patience

Of every Rams fan...

******

Two steps forward

One step back

They are so young

It's faith that we lack...

******

It's been a long time

We still need to wait

Cheer on the Rams

And stop all the hate...

******

The Rams are so young

Give it more time

Two years away

From reaching their prime...

******

One and three

The sky isn't falling

Rest of the season

Some serious balling...

******

The future looks bright

Convinced it is so

I'll stay positive

Rams faithful in tow...

******

Hope springs eternal

The talent is there

Bet against Fisher

And Snead if you dare...

******

Join hands and

Say it out loud

Rams fans forever

Loyal and proud...

******

There's ol' Dubs,

A true heretic.

This keeper of faith,

Is waxing poetic...
