Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXII: Fear And Ignorance Prevail, Plus Life’s Too Short


As our once-hopeful country turns redder
Ignorance prevails right down to the letter
A victory for the fear-mongering right
How much left to continue the fight?
Canada’s looking better and better

They called him Captain Hook
He managed by doing whatever it took
With bullpens he was ahead of his time
To Detroit his contributions were sublime
RIP to Sparky Anderson—one tough cook

A celebration taking place by the bay
The Giants finally have their day
Big-head Beroid is finally gone
The 49ers have been a con
A well-deserved World Series title, gotta say

A pen in the back is called a Bic stab
That’s how Shanahan’s felt to McNabb
Too fat and too little flex
Makes one lose out to Rex
It feels like the end for Donovan McFlab

A long coupla weeks it’s been
Full of remembrances of what’s been
One life blossoms into a year
Another winks out with many a tear
Hug yours tight and love again and again

Last time
