Limerick Friday 5: The Curse of the Speak 'N' Spell

From humble beginnings, Limerick Friday was resurrected to little fanfare. A week later, the buzz was somewhat greater, but the masses still did not want to believe. Seven days later, they surrendered their inhibitions, unleashing 42 responses in support of the new tradition. A week ago, readers generated a whopping 58 replies, cementing Limerick Friday as the greatest day of the week.

Where will this trend end? Bent and cowering at the bottom of the stairs like a Slinky? Or taking over our lives like Al Gore's Internet? You hold its fate in your hands. Choose wisely, you rhyming bastards.

Carry on.

To Raleigh comes ranked Georgia Tech
Calvin Johnson is tall, strong and fast as heck
Reggie Ball is 32 years old
On his arm I’m not so sold
I hope any yellow’s not for flags but for the Ramblin’ Wreck

Pondering a life without BizFlow,
There’s a hole in my heart, don’t you know
I’m sure it cost several mil
But it made sense to no one but Bill
A Speak ‘N’ Spell woulda been a better way to go

It’s going to be cold tomorrow at Notre Dame
I hope the few true Heels left see a good game
Pray for no shutout to Touchdown Jesus
We told you Bunting blew, but no one believed us
Butch Davis ain’t coming, so it’ll be more of the same

Creepy as hell and named Green River
He made every last one of us shiver
Dressed up for Halloween as a priest
Introduced himself to Casie 10 times at least
His favorite meal is Chianti, fava beans and liver*

The Brandow Witch Project did creepy sound
Bravely tested the Devil’s Tramping Ground
Though scared, he pushed on further
Like Hack chasing a Wendy’s burger
He cursed more than Pat at every ghost around
