Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXVIII: A Fraud Tarnishes The Golden Dome, Plus “Fringe” Says Its Final Goodbye




Manti Te’o, what the hell
A fraud or an idiot, can’t tell
Lazy journalism on display
And hero worship, I’d say
Character counts, even in the NFL

Te’o said Bill Brasky was a third-round steal
Roomed with Kaiser Soze, tried to cop a feel
Said high school coach named Rute Knockne
Said Anthony Munoz couldn’t block me
Degree from Hogwarts: “a pretty good deal”

State might not be a fluke
Throttled the Devils of puke
Jefferson fouled out
Then proceeded to pout
Even the refs couldn’t save poor Dook

But then the Pack went to College Park
And stumbled around in the dark
Played in brutal fits and starts
Blew an ugly win with brain farts
Focus and sharing were way off the mark

Playing chicken with fiscal cliff tiff
Stalling the assault weapon riff
Partisanship overriding what’s best
Divisiveness won’t take a rest
Maybe Congress should be next off the cliff

Of nostalgia, already a twinge
The intensity is sure to singe
A two-hour series finale awaits
The team will learn their fates
Oh, please don’t leave me “Fringe”
