Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: Ocho Or “Oh No!,” Plus A “Mad Men” Finale Deserving Of Three Poems




Realizing “Hard Knocks” fears
Sign “stars” with fading careers
#85 to South Beach
More than a little reach
Too late by about cinco years

Another epic boxing fail
The welterweight belt for sale
One more champion jobbed
Manny Pacquio was robbed
So how come Mayweather’s in jail?

Rick Scott the latest GOP groan
Credibility sunk like a stone
If suffrage is your best idea
Maybe just work at IKEA
And leave governance alone

The pompous bitch David Stern
Attacked Rome way out of turn
Worst commish out there
No accountability so he doesn’t care
He and the NBA will never learn

Joan rues a missed ‘ho chance
Lane missed, but Peggy’s back in pants
Beth shocked into no memory
Trippy Roger bangs Marie
As the newly rich agency expands

Ghosts from the Dick Whitman past
Catch up to faithful Don at last
A rotten tooth in need of extraction
Will he succumb to female distraction?
A cliffhanger, an eyebrow, a look vast

He’s “Mad Men’s” own Glass Joe
One punch and down he’ll go
Cheating Pete gets apartment in city
As sad Megan earns Don’s pity
Fade to black on one amazing show
