Super Bowl XIX

The flight took off from Dallas.
Flying toward Knob Hill.
Golden Gate Bridge
beautiful view, Fairmont’s bill.

Fisherman’s Wharf,
Ocean to the west,
Chinatown.
Ate too much seafood, no rest.

Breakfast was early.
Anticipation rose with the sun.
Come on 49ers,
we crave lots more fun.

Everyone is happy,
excitement crackles in the air.
Have a Bud Light
be sad if you dare.

Montana and Marino
wait for the call.
Where is that coin toss?
Who’ll get the ball?

Fans boo Reagan,
Cheer for their team.
Drink lots of beer,
Become somewhat obscene.

The game is over,
49ers can’t be beat.
San Francisco is chaotic,
Dolphins sigh in defeat.

Cowboy players fill the plane.
All of us hoping next year will bring,
The Dallas Cowboys
A Super Bowl ring!
