Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXII: Turmoil At USC And Tennessee, Plus A Genuine Heroine Passes



A bonus limerick for a busy week ...

He looks like one Dr. Seavers
His teams were underachievers
Probation doesn’t go well with his calamari
So he skated out of town like Calipari
He’ll fail again in the NFL, for all you believers

Under a cloud, he did retire
Now an admission by Mark McGwire
“Will you forgive me if I sob?
“I really need this coaching job”
Nice try, but you’ll always be a liar

A guitar he pretended to stroke
In the tunnel he seemed to be on coke
But if there’s a constant in January
When there’s pressure and things get hairy
It's that McNabb will once again choke

With the media, he can be rather coy
Working for more calls was his ploy
He thinks the game is too physical
Does he not remember Tyler (and Will)?!
Hypocrisy, they name is Bitch Roy

After Carroll’s shady riffin’
On Mike Riley, they were whiffin’
So they got the Vols’ coach on the line
Their fans now crying in their moonshine
For USC has hired Lane Kiffin

Helped hide Anne Frank from the hate
And risked her family’s fatal fate
Miep Gies has passed away
Soon after her 100th birthday
Our world lost a heroine to heaven’s gate

Last time
