Limerick Friday LXXXXV: October In, Common Sense Out


Transparent and folksy, representing hockey moms everywhere
She backed non-answers by wearing a smirk and a vacant stare
Spoke like she was running for school council in seventh grade
Refused to talk about policy or any decisions that were made
Pundits gave her credit for forming sentences; that seems fair

Another year, another epic Mets choke
It's become a pathetic, not-so-funny joke
The worst is it came in the last game at Shea
One of my favorite places back in the day
The season and the stadium went up in smoke

A dork with huge headphones and a goat with a hex
Cubbies fans looking for excuses as their team wrecks
"Wait 'til next year" already heard on the North Side
Down two games, can Sweet Lou stop this slide?
Chicago fans can agree to just blame this all on Rex

Fall weather is here, the Triangle's no longer hotter than hell
It's also Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I'm here to tell
Those are two (or is it three?) of my favorite things
So it's time to open up your wallet or purse strings
Supporting a good cause is certain to make you feel well

An economy that has turned into a black hole
Gas prices that are spiraling out of control
Money concerns for all in this wide land
Now hopes are a bailout will give us a hand
It all has me looking at homes in the North Pole

Last time
