Many of us find ourselves driving our child to school in the AM. One of the advantages is to catch the comments offered on the WGR radio Whiner Line. I'm a die hard Sabres fan but this morning just became too much to resist. It set my brain to toying with the sentiments expressed. The result you read below.

Rest assured, I will slip back into my Sabres Jersey, after my momentary lapse, and as usual extoll the Sabres individual merits under my pen name Artica Burr. After all, even if their team part falters some what, they are all great guys and part of our community. I immortalized the Sabers 2007 team forever in my book, "Hockey Legend Myth & Verse" and given a bit of time I have faith that our Sabres team will come together as one.

But allow me to share, after the Whiner Line comments, my momentary lapse, just this once...

I Scream You Scream ....

Great summer job for Miller
To work the ice cream truck.
Despite his claim of leadership
Our Sabres lose their pluck.

Too quick to drop upon the blue
Our famous Mister Softee.
Shots high up and to your left
They've scored another lofty.

Giving up those softer goals
When the pucks they serve
Won't help the Sabres ascertain
A Stanley winning curve.

Thirty, here's our message.
Hey, Miller, listen up!
We'd rather eat our just desserts
Out of the Stanley Cup!

Please.
