Limerick Friday LXV: Injecting Some Truth Into Baseball



“A dark day for baseball,” they said
Problems bigger than Barry Bonds’s head
‘Roids were the rage in MLB
A game with no integrity
Used to like baseball, but to me it’s dead

Katrina victims waited and waited for relief
No federal assistance gave them all a legitimate beef
Now dirty FEMA trailers make it hard to breathe
It’s enough to make any sane person seethe
Too much to ask for a trailer without formaldehyde, good grief

Debate season arrives just in time, without fail
Affecting the pecking order on the campaign trail
But Hillary isn’t holding her own
When it’s her turn on the microphone
She looked like a sure thing, but she’d better bust her tail

It’s 75 degrees at Christmas time
Drinking cocoa with an umbrella and a lime
Gotta cut carbon emissions right now
Or the world’s going to be flooded, and how
Sidewalk Santa wearing shorts when I gave him a dime

Coaching searches gone awry from the start
Candidates without a soul or a heart
Michigan can’t give away their job
Petrino looking like a colossal knob
It all makes Mark Mangino want another chocolate Pop Tart

Last time ...

    You forgot to mention the Heels' beloved chief
    A strange raise has many calling him a thief
    Now he's bashing the school he once coached
    Using a funeral to see which Canes commits can be poached
    UNC got what they asked for -- a fraud beyond belief

    Chief Butch reminds many of State's Chuck
    Shoot for the moon, miss and then pass the buck
    Recruiting down in Florida, promising big things
    Black Santa at his side offering bling-blings
    Miami kids say, "Football at UNC? Who gives a fuck?"

    Wonder if Zow called back that girl who does serve
    Or whether he is just stalking her like a perv
    Did he e-bay some phone "game"
    so he could pretend he wasn't lame
    Bet he went to the arcade instead of finding some nerve

  5. nope, I understand I got dissed
    threw her # away, she will not be missed
    Better use of time resource
    after getting dissed with no remorse
    is to find other girls to be kissed

    Available women are endless, but my time and efforts aren't
