Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXIV: Only Jack Bauer Can Save Carrie, Plus “Fringe” Is Ramping Up To Epic Finale



A first season marked by an intense pace
But now it’s turned into a “24” freebase
“Homeland” has gone off the rails
A second year full of believability fails
I now watch with my Claire Danes Crying Face

A liar, a douche and a cheat
A philanderer, too? Pretty neat!
Petrino hired by Western Kentuck
Character? They didn’t give a f%&k
Say “My bad,” then rinse and repeat

A season of holiday cheer
Offset by missing those held dear
The lights twinkle though thoughts turn bleak
A smile even as a tear streaks your cheek
Blessed, pained, life in the course of a year

I saw Tannehill’s accuracy and laughed
Couldn’t hit the ocean from a raft
Another lost year, you don’t say
Sad days for the Dolphins, but hey ...
I heard we’ll get a good pick in the draft

A weekly hour-long adrenalin binge
With melancholy, perhaps a little tinge
Not ready for the end of Walter’s story
Or to say bye to Olivia in all her glory
Yet these are the final days of “Fringe”

Last time
