The other day as I was going about my business, I saw the umpteenth blue flag with the number twelve waving in the wind and had a Francis Bellamy moment. So, with apologies to Francis Bellamy, sort of:
“A New Pledge of Allegiance”
I pledge allegiance
to the Twelfth Man
of the Seattle Sea Hawks of Washington
and to the Championship
for which it stands,
one fan base
indivisible
under Sherman
cheering with Home Pride for All!
