To be snow or not to be snow That is the question Whether tis noble to go out and try to make it to the hockey game Or stay home and be out 32 bucks for two tickets And by going out into that frigid mess and die To sleep no more And by a sleep and say we end The frostbite and a thousand little pins of pain shooting across my foot To consume overpriced pizza and Mt Dew To dream of an income that will allow me to partake in souvenirs When I will shuffle off this wild hockey puck To die, but I know my chances to sleep no more are better at a baseball game Or if I was in England, at a football(soccer) game Those hockey players are fit and brave, and there's the rub For they practice many long hours and they have my utmost respect They will bear the boos and scorns of the crowd if they fail to score enough goals The other team will be consumed with pride And in that pride will be consumed with lost love Of their few fans who made the perilous trip from Chicago, the windy city To go back and grunt and sweat under a weary life' A life like the Chicago Bears and the gun-toting cowards that live there And lose once again in the name of pride and inaction

About this poem:
This is a parody of To be or not to be from Hamlet by William Shakespeare. I may go to a hockey game tonight.
