(Don Cherry is a former NHL coach and long-time hockey commentator. He is known for being a redneck, fight-loving, right-winger. This poem was inspired by a commercial I saw where he is asking people to donate for troops in Afghanistan. Swiss Chalet is a famous Canuck restaurant and double-double refers to Tim Horton's Coffee, another company he has shilled for. He shoots he scores is a famous hockey saying by announcer Foster Hewitt, turned around to represent the soldier and media star)
12-04 (Don Cherry)
I fight for Don Cherry
Sweating Brut by Faberge
Charging the line
To put gas in his Cadillac
His freedom fighter
The gloves come off
Dying for his double-double
Suppers in the Swiss Chalet
Alone in the sand
For his frozen dreams
He shoots
He scores
