The Browns Suck, but I Still Love Them
Dear Grandma Hank and Grandpa Goog,
You’re not missing much,
it’s colder than hell here.
Hopefully not too warm there, depending
That could be bad.
I wonder, do you remember me there
You didn’t in the end here, it hurt.
Not as bad as the pain Mom felt to see you
Crumble from solid granite.
They kept you locked in separate houses,
A horrible way to end those golden years.
Prisoners in your own mind,
Strong hearts bound by vow and love, and a ring.
Alzheimer’s funny,
Not ha-ha funny, but oh shit funny.
Like knowing a jokes punch line is coming,
But NEVER hearing it.
I wonder, did it call come back there?
The Sunday Fundays on the couch?
Sana’s famous chicken wings, or god forbid
The Fumble, thanks Mr. Byner, let’s all forget that.
They say there is no pain in heaven,
Is that true for Browns fans?
Tell me, does it still hurt?
Is St.Peter a fan, he should be, he holds the keys right?
Life’s going good here now, despite your absence
Going to Michigan State in the fall.
Sorry, Ohio State out of the question,
Out of state tuition…forget about it.
I hope you can’t remember this last season,
Winless is only good for draft picks and jokes.
Anyways, the Browns still suck
But I still love them, and both of you.
