Omaha Calling Poem by Ima Ryma

Omaha Calling



'Omaha' - a quarterback yell,
An audible to change the play.
Rest of the team is s'posed to gel,
And do the down another way.
The Native American tribe,
Omaha, was source of the name.
But football call? - hard to ascribe,
Omaha did not play the game.
Native Americans should not
Be offended at such a call,
Not a negative slurring blot,
But a positive in football.

Washington Redskins - not p.c.
Washinton Omahas? - could be!
