Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXVIII: The Tar Heels Can’t Read, Plus “Treme” Will Be Oh, So Missed




Cheater Hill is under more fire
Real reporters jumping into the mire
National doing what local won’t
Read very well, they don’t
Reap what you sow in a situation dire

To 2013 we said goodbye
In the sand under a gray sky
One more year in the books
Never as good or bad as it looks
More fun in 2014, less asking, “Why?”

A comeback for the ‘Noles
The ACC sits atop the polls
But Auburn pissed it away
When Jameis couldn’t make a play
Another season has taken its tolls

The Ireland tenure finally through
A long time coming, ‘tis true
But dysfunction still does abound
As long as Philbin’s still around
Optimism dwindled right after it grew

Treme” captured every note and verse
The Big Easy, for better or worse
From Katrina to rebirth
Examined what New Orleans is worth
The beauty alongside the warts
