Calvin the Megatron to Ford Field Did Come
The beast of Madden flailed at his redoubt
Fire in their eyes, across turf they tore!
Bending, cripping, to thee they hoped to bore,
Thy careers end they sought to force out.
Thy companions they did break! Childe
Edwards in camp. Stout Burleson for want
Of rounded pie, consigned so standing gaunt
And erremore forsaken to the Browns, forerr mild.
Valiant Broyles had scarce begun to heal,
When broke by the beast once more. Titus the Youngst
Did boast and stomp. Until torn from amongst
The team did his illness reveal.
Nineteen thousand and sixty-four shine bright.
As did two thousand and sixty three before
So shall another, a Motor City fated yore.
Each yet squandered for lack of adroit squires, a career squelched!
Knightly Sire Roy, who knowing that in his death knell,
Christened thee but when still a childe. Chimeras
Could never lessen thy legend. Neer could legions of
Hordes nor houscarls defeat thy honorific decepticons
Only could those sacrilegd saboteurs in their satirical safeguards
Presume to rescind what was rightfully Megatrons in their predation: Process
of Thy Catch - screeched those Thrall of the Rodger.
Impossible to rectify thy dejection. Despairing and demoralized as masses of Detroiters who follow.
Thy travels seen in Detroit neer before:
Outright from drafts 756, 1331, 984 greatness perhaps an outlier,
Yet to greatest heights did build 1120, 1681, 1964 with gregariousness still
A legend, a leader, 1492, 1077, 1214
The fates to Detroit fastidiously brought you, to fame.
To worshipper nor hated foe did he condescend.
Yet Curst by Layne is Detroits fate, no curiae may ever absolve -
Megatron never to squelch curses squalor. Squandered forer.
A body bent, broke, borne its burthen longer then most.
Thy corporeal form no more corroded by carrying The Prince of Corpulence,
Feast upon feedlock have brought this fearless yet cernuous
Receiver oft stricken by pain! Off days so have portend.
As Achilles before, no more shall Calvin the Megatron ache,
Karma having brought thee into the care of Karras of Mongo
A pawn in game of life no more,
Freed from the Fords before thou fissure and fracture
Err Illuminated with Wijciechowicz, Walker, Matson, Night Train,
Layne, Schmidt, Gatski, JH, Lary, Barney, LeBeau
Christianson, Clark, Culp, Dudley, Creekmur, Charlie & Barry
The future having been fated: That Tenderhearted Transformer, borne by retinue
Burnished with golden fleece, borne to the meadhall of Canton by
The devoted denizens of Detroit deeming thee erst-worthy-
We hath processed thou catch for thee
