In Which Nostradamus Envisions the Remaining NFL Season

A lost book of NFL prophecies authored by Nostradamus has been discovered!

Season 2007

1.
Once the happiest of tabbies;
has now left his home den,
westbound in its rapid travels.
To jig in rain soaked fields again.

2.
A wise ancient leader of a savage tribe,
settled in a most wretched corrupt land.
Grows weary with fear of mortality,
and retires to tend to his galloping horse.

3.
A younger sibling grows among tall men,
arises on one wounded snow covered foot.
And delivers a fatal victorious blow,
against an unsuspecting army of the south.

4.
As weather warms, following season’s end;
a bird of prey returns to tend the nest,
Two eggs once thought broken,
are mended with paternal care.

5.
The great finned beast drowns,
in a sea of turmoil and despair.
Unable to swim against the current,
a prince among babes is summoned.

6.
Two crimson feathered creatures,
wilt helpless under a desert sun.
One mends a wounded wing and takes flight,
while the other struggles to climb the cross.

7.
The great beast roars with pride,
within a raucous kingdom void of a sky.
A cherished king beloved by subjects,
is unceremoniously trampled with impunity.

8.
A sure footed young barbarian bearing proud horns,
sails an enormously large wooden ship off course.
After grounding the ship’s ores upon shore, then is it understood,
a voyage bound captain requires a sea salty crew.

9.
An army wearing the bolt once considered invincible by many,
is catastrophically led by a fool to humbling defeat.
Once the incumbent is expelled from the enormous sea beast’s womb,
the second in command previously from the middle country shall lead. 

10.
A breeze dies after gusting ever so strong,
in a land once felled by the sea.
One messenger is slowed with a limp,
and replaced by another that is to become legendary.

11.
A destitute starving four legged woolly beast,
migrates north to a strange snow covered nation to feed.
Doomed by years’ past of a wayward missile far right,
its most famous member is locked away in the tower.

12.
A phoenix shall not rise from his ashes,
as it pays penalty for crimes against the howlers.
Its city once threatened to explode,
must suffer as the heir fails time and again.

13.
A voice once muted, roars spitefully once again,
as the heavens fail to hurtle the rock towards outreached hands.
A starry band of brothers divides over bitter dispute,
The unsteady leather handler weeps in despair.

14.
A forgotten legion of iron clad battle tested soldiers,
surprisingly rises once again.
The big clock chimes seven before day’s end,
to the hooded fang’s dismay as his third eye grows blind.

15.
In a quaking land of fog by the sea,
the namesake of the ancient Macedonian king falters.
The man of fine linens and fabrics is exiled,
while a hero once lost now returns home to lead.

16.
A foot treasured by many, fails at winter day’s end,
echoes of dismay resonate among the tall peaks.
Calls for the pipe fitter’s return fall upon deaf ears,
A city in the great sky must accept the dull blade.

17.
A proud old crow in royal purple and black,
conquers no more and can no longer defend its nest.
The walker of the sky is wounded and does not return,
while the pot boils beyond its control and is engulfed in flames.

18.
The famed grizzled general is discovered,
drinking from a forbidden fountain of youth.
An empire falls in a colossal heap,
and thousands mourn at the frozen field.

19.
An unforgiving populace from the swamp,
demands penance from its weak limbed son.
A suitor fails to deliver upon expectations,
and the taskmaster returns to feast and drink at the head table.

20.
A strong willed hermit wearing red,
coaxes his klan of unknowns to rise and fight.
The Cal warrior is struck by lightening yet emerges victorious,
while a lamed man of God watches close by.

21.
For a few silver dollars more, the mercenaries in black,
are beckoned to return to the kingdom of angels.
Devoted followers from the town of the oaks,
dressed in goth will light a large flame.

22.
Land of bitter rain at sea’s edge,
falters by a catastrophic decision from the bald one.
A populace saddened by sudden demise,
turns to the dark bitter bean to drink.

23.
A once sure footed horned beast,
flops in exhaustion on its own ground.
These guards of the French king’s city,
capture no battles by season’s end.

24.
Early riches prove later to be fool’s gold,
as the pound of angry zealots growl ferociously.
Chants for the appearance of an Irish quill cascade,
as a Roman watches the lamb frolic among hungry wolves.

25.
A falcon flies south to roost in a land rich with black tea,
promise for a better future grows each passing day.
The white horse is nearly corralled before a famous son’s birthday,
as the Deutsche ultimately fulfills a victor’s prophesy.

26.
Named after the white clay, a star among stars is born,
while no longer haunted by the demonic son of John.
Men of legend shall rise next season,
as a young boy matures into a valiant fighting man.

27.
Wounded by a sharp sliver in its paw,
a cruel growl beckons from its den.
Sleep and heal this winter, it very well may,
as to return to vanquish slanderers and foes alike.

28.
A man of extreme age answers the cry of the dark leopard,
and is pounced helplessly by its invading captors.
Citizenry of the more northern of Carolines,
half-heartedly embrace the descendent of the spear.

29.
Once swashbuckling and conquering was this crew,
now with its ship run aground and sinking.
Its master with the court jester impressionable face,
walks off the plank to swim among circling sharks.

30.
A proud ignored feline of the plains suddenly is given due notice,
when it quickly strikes down upon unsuspecting prey.
Only then does the jungle take notice,
of the croc hiding amidst the spotted cat’s fur coat.

31.
The hooded fang and his eager glowering apprentice,
ran roughshod of their opponents throughout autumn’s days.
Battles won previously from the air, but not from the ground,
a defeat is celebrated with excessive wine by old men of prestige order. 

32.
A restrained horse of ivory texture,
led quietly by an unassuming God fearing wise man.
Strategically avoids controversy,
And emerges victorious once again.
