Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXVIII: An Emotional Departure After Program Lowe Point, Plus We Need March Madness In Times Of International Woe


We knew it was time to go
Still an emotional day, though
You were a championship hero
But Big Dance invites were zero
Best wishes to classy Sid Lowe

Wonder why the economy’s in the ditch?
‘Cause Wall Street made us their bitch
No regulation or the like
No accountability for a fraud hike
Evil greed making richer the rich

When left out of March Madness
Bubble teams whine on their sadness
Cry me a river where I can swim
Then play someone and actually win
Now shut up and let us enjoy hoops gladness

Thousands dead amidst the rubble
Nuclear reactors with scary trouble
Flooding and devastation
Japan, a shaken nation
Life’s lived in a precious bubble

Even when times are lean
St. Patrick’s Day keeps us green
Shamrocks in our Guinness
A shepherd’s pie to finish
And an ankle monitor for Charlie Sheen

Last time
