Third graders show purple pride with poem

If you're still reeling from the Ravens lost this weekend, I thought this might lighten you up. A third-grade creative writing class at Alexander Hamilton Elementary School in West Baltimore wrote this poem after the Ravens dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers in their opening game.

The students' teacher, Phallon Perry, passed this along this week to showcase her students' work and to promote writing in schools.

Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore city Ravens are the BEST

The Ravens are better than the REST

Their colors are Purple and BLACK

They gave the Steelers a SMACK

Ray Lewis tackles HARD

The Ravens stomped the YARD

The Ravens are a winning TEAM

They are the best you've ever SEEN
