Limerick Friday LXXXXXVI: A Bounceback Is Mine In '09


Lots of changes took place in '08
A new home, a new life and fate
Sweet Gallo lost way too soon
We miss him morning, night and noon
High hopes for '09, of this there's no debate

The new year brought a PGA suspension for Hooters fan JD
And a reminder of the douchiness of his namesake, Carson Daly
Poor Dick Clark was painful to watch
Difficult to hear the words he did botch
But the Backstreet Boys and Jonas Brothers got along gaily

A record 10 teams went to a bowl from the ACC
But they went 4-6 with lots of debacles to see
LSU beat the crap out of Georgia Tech
When Wilson got hurt, State said, "What the heck"
I guess it's hoops time on Tobacco Road, woe is me

Got the Comeback Player of the Year
A team that turned the league on its ear
Only the Tuna doesn't seem on board
It seems he only wants money to hoard
Oh well, being an underdog again is nothing to fear

A new hope for Scooter in a brutal economy
Back to writing a press release or three
A PR gig back in the pharma space
Thankful for another cubicle place
Shout out to my writer friends, it'll get better, you'll see

It's high time for the return of Lost
All my frustrations have now been tossed
I'm still a little bit in shock
Over the sight of a dead Locke
They finally left the island, but at what cost?

Last time
