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 ...
