Limerick Friday LXXXXXIII: Unemployment Tends To Diminish Fun Of Holiday Shopping


Layoffs pile up as our recession still does swoon
And half a million more will be jobless soon
Every week, another friend told to hit the bricks
Tough time of year to be job-hunting in the sticks
Hopefully the iPresident will lead an economic boon

A battle royale between the Gators and Tide
A national title is what this game could decide
'Bama has a Nicktator who can coach but is rude
Florida has an Urban who is one cocky dude
Everyone watching tomorrow is in for quite a ride

No better idea than an 8-year-old with an Uzi
Surrounded by adults who were quite boozy
Now he's dead on site at a pointless gun expo
Have we learned nothing from that jackass Plaxico?
Even Charlton Heston thinks this was an avoidable doozy

A fantasy football season to wrench your soul
Bad luck, injuries, then my playoff spot stole
A game that's hard to figure, even in the best times
The only way to play is with many Coronas and limes
Now my only hope is my last team—Blind Midget Patrol

All Wolfpack fans just want a bowl from some fat Santas
About any other gifts, we don't give a damn-as
Hottest team in the league after a dismal start
Thanks to all the seniors, who all played their part
But even Batman wears Russell Wilson pajamas

Last time ...
