On Thursday, I’m teaching a lesson on odes.  I decided to write an example for my students to use as inspiration.  It’s pretty awesome that this is my job.

Ode to Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers, proud in green and gold
Your aim precise and throws so bold
You lead the team with strength and smarts
You quarterback sneaked into my heart

Aaron Rodgers, with your sparkling smile
You make my Sundays so worthwhile
Your pump fakes always so convincing
It makes me swoon when you are sprinting

Tom Brady?  No.  Tim Tebow, please
Oh Aaron, the QB for me
Even with the moustache that you grew
It’s like my dreams are coming true

Yes, in his shadow, you learned well
Mistakes he made, his glory fell
But you were there to rise in charge
A better man than old Brett Favre

My money’s on you in any bet
My sweetest discount double pet
Oh, number twelve, the joy I’ve felt
Each touchdown pass, each title belt

Since it’s true, we lost this year
I want to make one thing quite clear
I usually don’t cry at all—
the Giants game?  I foot-bawled.

But A-Rod, when you dodge a blitz
and never, ever call it quits
You’ve been my favorite from the start
When you quarterback sneaked into my heart

Oh my god, I love this with everything in me.
