Ode to Dolphins



Oh Dolphins - every year so much hope
But all you can do is lose
All I can do is cope
And go to bed and snooze

I can’t decide If I should root for another team
Maybe the chiefs, raiders, or bills
Maybe I should quit sports as a whole
But no, I need to hold onto my dreams
Just thinking about it gives me chills
One day, the dolphins will win the super bowl
