Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXV: Thinking Of Our Vets, Plus Ryan Harrow Brings The Truth To Pack Hoops


We all celebrate Veterans Day
None of us really know what to say
We have lumps in our throats and draw blanks
But inside we say a heartfelt thanks
For so many, it’s the ultimate price they pay

Check out “The League” on FX
It’s about some middle-aged wrecks
Their lives revolve around fantasy ball
They talk shit and trades all fall
Same as my league except less boobs and bigger checks

Two weeks went by pretty quick
Now it’s back to the work schtick
Going to miss my lil’ Ube
But I’ve got to do my writing duty
I’ll spend lotsa time watching the clock tick

Grieving soldiers at attention stood
After the tragedy that happened at Fort Hood
A Muslim passed the Army’s psychiatry screen
Then went out and shot and killed 13
Those in charge would change it if they could

Welcome to the Pack, Ryan Harrow
Though he’s as skinny as a scarecrow
He’s got some Hodge-like swagger
And a crossover that’s like a dagger
He bleeds Wolfpack Red deep in his marrow

Last time
