Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: Auburn Sort Of Wins A Title, Plus The Politics Of Hate Catches Up With Us All


Phil Knight pays for wins at Oregon
Cam Newton plays for pay with a grin
It was an ugly game the Tigers won
TCU would have beaten either one
Guess cheaters never sometimes win

“Band of Brothers” was a hit at the printers
About a war of explosions and splinters
An emotional, gut-wrenching journey
Watching your brother taken out on a gurney
RIP to a true hero: Major Dick Winters

Miami’s days of glory are long gone
Respectability has also moved on
A franchise in shambles and shame
An embarrassment to lovers of the game
Boy, do I miss Dan and the Don

A fairly brutal winter in Raleigh
Has many exclaiming “Gollee!”
Tough weather in the City of Oaks
Lead some to claim climate change a hoax
But disbelief is ignorance and folly

The political climate is scary and shabby
Faux News induces terror and is quite blabby
Obama an emotional tribute to the fallen
The state of Arizona is appalin’
We’re all pulling for a brave, fighting Gabby

Last time
