Limerick Friday LXXXXXIIIV: Laugh, Think And Cry Today


It's a week for remembering the late Jimmy V
And all that he meant to so many, including me
His legacy is one of never, ever giving up
Now more than $80 million in the collection cup
His fight against cancer defined him and set him free

It's the PapaJohns.com Bowl for the Wolfpack
After an incredible late-season comeback
Wish I could make it down to Birmingham
With empty wallet and shaking head I say, "Damn"
But there will be plenty of fans supporting the Pack Attack

From Baton Rouge all the way to the bayou
So little time, and so very much to do
An afternoon spent in the French Market
The rental car was trapped when we parked it
Then every bathroom within 10 miles smelled like poo

He lit up the Big 12 yet again, but he's no Sooner or Gator
Nearly 5,000 yards and 41 touchdowns for this Red Raider
He led his team to 11-1 and seventh in the BCS
Now he's dealing with some Heisman political B.S.
Not a finalist?! Shame on you, every Graham Harrell hater

K-Rod joins the bullpen to help end losing ruts
Also added a proven reliever humorously named Putz
After another season went up in smoke
Mets are out to try to remove the label of "choke"
But it'll take more than a coupla new pitchers to find some guts

Last time
