Islanders



The New York Islanders is a great team,
                                  made of professional hockey players.
                                   Becoming a member is a life’s dream,
                                   but requires lots of clothing layers.
                       
                                  The team was founded in seventy-two,
                                   in the lovely city of Uniondale.
                          Their colors are white and orange and blue.
                                 worn by Sparky the Dragon with his tail.

                      Fans of the team are a crazy large crowd,
                             who fill the Nassau Coliseum each game.
                         Their fun cheers can be heard extremely loud,
                      Yelling and screaming each player’s surname!
              
                                   If not an Islander, then a Ranger,
                                   Keep that a secret or you're in danger.
