‘Twas the night before Christmas and all I could hear on the court, was screaming and shouting Richie’s being a poor sport. The beer mugs were hung At the bar with great care Where Cole could be seen Ripping out his hair. The rest decided to sit in the balcony instead While dreams of championships Danced in their heads. Jon U. is on the sidelines His teams don’t let him play. That just gives him more time To pound a Southern Tier IPA. The parking lot at Eldridge was filled with white snow. The only thing brighter? Doyle’s skin all a glow. Vaillancourt plays “tough D” He guards with a scowl He can often be heard saying, “What’s a foul?” We thought we saw Santa on the roof, in his sleigh. That wasn’t Santa. It was none other than Jeff May! The game was a blowout. Ford said with a smirk “It’s about time for me to go to work.” Skinny Peyton’s a new guy Let’s not be absurd All we want from him? Say 1 freakin’ word New guy Corey’s a beast The paint is his house I gotta tell you That Bumble don’t bounce! Another new guy Has a dad body No one wins more Than Michael Salvati Tommy used to be good Now he’s pretty ineffective Maybe he should just stick To sports card conventions Speaking of used to’s Here’s Chuck Thomasulo If you draft him anymore You must be a fool……….o ‘Lil Josh is a nuisance Some might say a pest He reminds me of Herbie “I want to be a dentist.” After the season was over Captain E said with a grin, “I thought I could draft at least one freakin’ win!” Ohhhhhhh poor Helmet, always finishing in last. Lord knows we’ll hear, “Oh %#@& my ass!!!” Josh Lanzot’s a beast in the lane, shooting “bunnies”. He even treats Christmas like it’s 4/20. Mike G. is tall and quiet, like a tree. All he says is a whisper, “I’m the freaking MVP.” Kellen changed his shoes so he wouldn’t slip and fall. The sneakers worked but he still shoots AIR BALLS!!!! Zach doesn’t know how To shoot he just flicks He acts like a tough guy With arms like a stick. Tall Justin’s got talent With his fake and his feints You’re fucking 6 foot 6. Get in the paint! On Donner, On Dasher On Comet On Blitzen Need a 3 for the ship? Get Todd $&@?!#% Nixon!!!! Curt wasn’t at Eldridge He knows the way I forgot it was playoffs Curt’s M….I….A. Jon Tirado let’s it fly He fits What’s a Pass For as bad as he misses You’d think he’d call glass. Mike Benjamin is pretty I’d like to give him a rub Dude even had the trophy In his hot tub Crazy Al is a vet Him missing was a crime He leads Grinders in points Just from the baseline Lil’ Cuz is real feisty He tries to go to the rack Don’t let him defend you He’s the league’s worst hack. Don’t forget the Grinders OG’s. The greats from of old. Simon and Nate, Hearn and Perrault The games were all over, Witt said with a cry, Merry Christmas to all and “BALL DON’T LIE!!!!!!”
