I don’t do much off-season poetry, but when I do, you get “The Dabo Went Down to Georgia.”

The Dabo went down to Georgia - he was lookin’ for a football win.
If he beats big names in notable games,
The Committee will let him in.

Then he saw a visored doofus just beyond a well-trimmed hedge -
He was doin’ a dance, as into his pants his shirt he struggled to wedge.

The Dabo said, “Hey there, mister - my boys wanna play some ball.
Y’all got a team that’s top-of-the-cream we could play against this fall?”

The man said, “My name’s Kirby, and buddy, you’re in luck. Let’s meet in Charlotte - I’ll bring my scarlet convicts in the truck!”

Now, Dabo, train your players up and coach those Tigers hard,
‘Cause ####’s broke loose in Georgia, where they raid the prison yards!
And if you win you’ll get another trophy made of gold,
But if you lose, the haters get more bold…

Then Kirby picked a clipboard up and said, “I’ll start this show.”
And fire blew from his mouth and ears as his hot air started to blow.
“Recruiting is our ssspecialty,” he said with an evil hiss.
“Can’t no team hang with Georgia when we bag top ‘cruits like this.”

When the dope had finished, Dabo said, “Well, that’s pretty good, ol’ son,
but just sit down in that chair right there and lemme show you how it’s done.”

”Been to the Playoffs, all but one!
Finest facilities and most fun!
Big ol’ trophy case, watchin’ it grow!
Scared of a Dawg bite? No, child, NO!”

Then Kirby bowed his head because he knew that he’d get beat,
And he threw his ugly visor on the ground at Dabo’s feet.
But he perked up quick and said, “We may not win, but then again,
Recruits and hype preseason? We’re the best that’s ever been.”

And Dabo said,
”Been to the Playoffs, all but one!
Finest facilities and most fun!
Big ol’ trophy case, watchin’ it grow!
Scared of a Dawg bite? No, child, NO!”
