Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXIV: J.D. Salinger Passes On, Plus Hope Lives On As Snow Bears Down


Success came with “Catcher in the Rye”
Though he became reclusive and shy
Holden Caulfield was a hero to many
Even if some saw him as a bad penny
Hope Salinger writes novels in the sky

As a bagboy he was a no-namer
‘Til he proved to be an NFL gamer
Kurt Warner is rags to riches
Turned cornerbacks into his bitches
He leaves a borderline Hall of Famer

Back down? Obama says “Nope”
Still running a campaign of hope
He’s fighting the ignorant, closed-minded
By partisan politics they are blinded
With change, they just can’t cope

Quite a week for the schizo Pack
Beat down Duke with a resounding smack
Got rolled by Mexi-Melt and the Terps
A home setback to UNC’s team of perps
Oh Sidney, it’s consistency your team lacks

A forecast of 10 inches of snow
A frightened city races to and fro
Big storm headed toward Raleigh
Trying to drive is pure folly
To Harris Teeter everyone does go

Last time
