The players used to kid me about
My favorite foods which were Jello,
Ice cream, small curd cottage cheese
With crackers in it, or peanut butter.
I ate those things to save time.
You don’t have to chew Jello
Which saves time. How much time?
The amount doesn’t matter. Once
There was one second left until halftime
In a game and we scored a touchdown.
I got up at four-thirty in the morning
When I was with the Bears to take
George Halas out to breakfast and
Talk football. I ate Jello, orange or red,
With cream poured on it sometimes.
What I eat or don’t eat, where I eat,
How much I eat, what you eat, what
That guy over there eats, who cares?
Games are won by offense, defense,
And surprisingly often by special teams.
