He kind ‘a stopped
That is what the announcer said
What does he mean?
Did he stop or
didn’t he stop?
Is there an in-between?
Then the face mask call
Was it or wasn’t it?
Yes it was according to the officials
And now we have come to
the end of the third quarter
Thanks fellows, we weren’t aware
These announcers so precise, so accurate
babble on remarkably with facts
they read off of information sheets
They sound intelligent and often throw
in an outside opinion which in a sense
is exposing them to ridicule
The reminder of what the quarterback
was doing three weeks ago against
some other team and bring it up
to compare to tonight’s action
“The deep ball”, “The pre-play”,
“The slinging of the ball”
Whatever all of this means is not
important compared to the fact that
it is the vernacular of the proud announcer
“Now a flag is down”, “The play is coming back”
Then a critique on an earlier call. They know it all
They enumerate the penalties on this drive
They call them, these announcers
