Limerick Friday LXXXXXX: Being Super Ain't Always Easy


Yet another Super Bowl Sunday approaches pretty quick
25 straight years, the Dolphins aren't involved a lick
Can Pittsburgh mount their vaunted rushing attack?
Can grocery-boy Warner avoid being put on his back?
The Bengals will be watching in a cell block with Michael Vick

As we all bid adieu to the remarkable Kay Yow
Whose story made us all simply say, "Wow"
Fought breast cancer bravely for 20 years
Carried herself with grace amidst the tears
NC State is certainly going to miss her—and how

Finally, some class is shown by one Drew Brees
Whose chase for Dan Marino's record was but a tease
He admitted that it should be broken the right way
Not by someone whose game plan is "Bombs away!"
Would help if more respected the game's greats, please

Seems the U. of Houston has put out yet another thug
Stepped on Chase Budinger like he was stomping a bug
Memories of one Christian Laettner, that queer
He was too light in his sneakers to inspire much fear
The FBI trying to make sure Coleman's not the target of a .44 slug

Desmond and Penny had a boy who's younger than 4
Named for the good Charlie, not the Charles Widmore
An H-bomb from the '50s is a danger all must heed
Faraday loves Charlotte, but she's got a nose bleed
Confused John Locke's trying to be a leader, but his Latin is poor


Raleigh's own wunderkind, John Wall
Does wonders on the hardwood with the ball
Enough to make Kansas blatantly break a rule
Enough to make Duke just another cheating school
But will he pick the Wolfpack after all?

Last time
