I DO NOT LIKE THE SUPER BOWL (with apologies to Dr. Seuss)

I do not like the Super Bowl

I do not like it on TV

I do not like it next to me

I like it each year less and less

Spare me, spare me CBS.

I do not like the Super Bowl

I do not find it very droll

To watch young men most tightly clad

Bash each other lad to lad.

I do not like the ads, I don’t

I will not watch them

No I won’t.

I do not like the half-time show

I do not like the fuss, you know.

I will not watch a super star

Raking money near and far.

I do not like the hoopla, no

I’d like a quiet place to go

Away from crowds and screaming fans

Away from all those marching bands,

Away from wings and dips and such

I do not like them very much.

I do not like the men in suits

Earning lots cause people root

For teams of men who make lots too

More than we can, me and you.

I do not like the Super Bowl

I think I’ll crawl into a hole 

Until the fuss is in the past

And I can come out safe at last.
