The Numbers of Chi-town

The Numbers of Chi-town
By Brian Patrick Roach

The numbers of Chi-town,
So many of fame,
Defines our crown.

Fifty-one, ripped off heads with a frown
Unsatisfied, explosion awaiting, taking aim.
The numbers of Chi-town.

Thirty-four, sweetly running the ground…
Over the entire game,
Defines our crown.

Twenty-three, flying abound,
Takin’ the last shot with no shame.
The numbers of Chi-town.

Fifty-four, side-to-side a drooling grey hound,
Almost corrupted by a blonde dame,
Defines our crown.

Our city, our home, our sound,
Roaring, Stampeding, the same.
The numbers of Chi-town
Defines our crown.
