Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: Goodbye To Baseball’s Last Untainted Hero, Plus When Perfect Meets Imperfect


Reduced to the recycle bin
He napped during a Mariners win
Farewell to an all-timer, Ken Griffey
Injuries made him play stiffly
We’ll always wonder what might have been

Cheating at Kansas, did you hear?
NCAA to turn a blind eye and ear
It happened under the watch of Roy Boy
Basketball robbed of tradition and joy
Keep moving, nothing to see here

An EZU footballer went streaking
Of booze and stupidity he was reeking
His run ended when he got tazed
He pretended he was unfazed
But poop down his leg he was leaking

Into TV chaos I’ve been tossed
Who knew this is what it would cost?
On it, I used to be depend
Like saying goodbye to an old friend
Without “Lost,” I’m kinda “Lost”

An umpire blew a perfect game
Now everybody knows his name
Wishes he toiled in anonymity
At least he showed some humility
Umps with egos are annoying and lame

Last time
