But it’s going to end up really yelly.

The itsy-bitsy Seahawks

Flew up the water spout.

The one-yard line

Injected us with doubt.

Out came the sun

In San Francisco bay

And the itsy-bitsy Seahawks

Are champions today!

This poem is dedicated to Kenneth Walker III, the first running back in decades to win super bowl MVP.

Good things come when you run the ball.
