Limerick Friday LIII: Football Finally Makes Its Return To The Triangle


Football has now returned, finally
The time for talk is ancient history
Watch for EZU’s QB on the streets
Heels fans will enjoy $10 empty seats
Can’t wait to see the new Pack at beloved Carter-Finley

Buncha astronauts flying drunk and senseless
Found out it’s tasty to mix Tang and Guiness
Thought they discovered a brand-new star
Turns out it was just a bottle cap from the mini bar
It’s much easier to do keg stands when you’re weightless

Had a crooked nose for all to see
Still made movies numbering 123
Right when his popularity was growin’
He got tired of just being Owen
Don’t blame him after “You, Me and Dupree”

An apology from a well-trained Michael Vick
Applauded for no notecards and being slick
He’s already found G-zus, it seems
Guess god’s so gangster when you’re losing greens
Good luck in prison, you self-righteous prick

The ground is still littered with leftover broken dreams
They know what it means to miss New Orleans
But the spirit of the bayou never did leave
From a city that wears its heart on its sleeve
Through them we now know what resiliency means

Last time ...

this labor day weekend leaves me with no plans
unlike the astronauts there'll be no keg stands
might go to the charles and rent a canoe
although the water occasionally smells like poo
maybe the sun will come out and I'll get a tan

thought it was september the other day
sent steve an email wishing him a happy birthday
too much work losing my mind
hoping the winning lotto ticket I do find
sitting on the beach drinking my cares away

A tidy .19 for QB Rob Kass
Latest EZUer to act like an ass
Saw red and blue lights with dread
When the cops pulled him over he said,
"I can throw a ball but I can't pass a class"

Driving to Charlotte over the weekend
Will have a great time, seeing many friends
Just bought a new car today, looks totally great
'03 convertable mustang, you know you wanna hate
Got a great deal on it, not much money I spent.

A Mustang for our friend Short Round
Like Pat Martin's sitting in the impound
A car that will win him many gold medals
Blocks on his feet to reach the pedals
He'll be the coolest stalker around

Can this day drag any longer?
Of the Lounge crew my heart grows fonder
Thanks Casie, for the birthdays wishes
I’m not that old, so don’t bury me with the fishes
Is it snowing yet in Boston and up yonder?
