Lemmy vs. Ditka







VS.












Thanks to a new Deadspin.com post, a new moral quandry has emerged. With all apologies to Eric Clapton and Chuck Norris, there has come to light two entities of such God-like power, philosophers can only speak of them in hushed tones. So from the fine print of page 187 of William Blake's forgotten prose, The Serious Tip proudly presents:

Lemmy Kilmister's North Hykeham Motorheads vs. Da Bears of Mike Ditka.

Rise child for the horns of heaven sound!
All must bow in great glory
Ever-present Peter
Guardian of the Gates
Let those of heaven join us
Take a place in the stands
And witness
A collision of the Gods awaits

On the sidelines one
The players of North Hykeham
Born of recent birth
Come forth to Ace of Spades
These sons of Lemmy Kilmister
Invincible
The Motorhead Football Squad

But alas across the field of play
Hailing from Chicago land
A formidable foe
Of whom the Earth itself fears
None dare speak lightly of
Da Bears of legend and lore
Lead by one Mike Ditka

Although their sports differ
Satan himself would have fallen to his knees
No matter the competition
Versus the men of Lemmy or Ditka

For yet they square in battle still
Da Bears and Motorhead team
Contest after contest they engage
From football to dominoes
Soccer to backgammon
All come to equal result
Ages and eons pass
And still not an outcome is clear

As the age of man nears end
And the Four Horsemen of Revelations descend
Players, fans, and announcers pass on
Only Lemmy and Ditka remain
No longer even the heavens, the stars, the moon
For which is God? For God is which?
The two immortals collide
Creating another Big Bang.
