Will Smith Shares Eagles Poem On Facebook
He may be Hollywood royalty, but at heart the movie megastar is just a kid from West Philly. Check out his Eagles poem here.
PHILADELPHIA – It's not news that Will Smith is from Philadelphia: the TV show that launched him into the Hollywood stratosphere mentions West Philadelphia in the first three words of its iconic theme song.
But despite being Hollywood royalty now, Smith is still a Philly kid at heart.
And he showed just that on Facebook recently by posting a poem in support of the Birds' Super Bowl bid.

The poem in full is below:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I think it’s time for a Super Bowl title,
What about you?
The sentiment is good, but the execution is a bit simple if we're being picky. Needless to say, Smith is not Robert Frost but he can make a heck of a movie.
