Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXI: Many Giant Leaps For “Mad Men,” Plus Farewell To The Gifted Maya Angelou




A furious midseason finale
Chose nerd over douche, did Sally
Bert Cooper died in high style
For divorce Megan will file
Don and Roger threw Cutler down a valley

Peg fabricated a family
Nailed a presentation emotionally
Against a moon landing backdrop
Roger steps up to stop Cutler’s co-op
Are the best things in life really free?

A douche and fiancé soon parted
O’er the phone? A bit retarded
Ah well, such is Rory
A new chapter for his story
Check out the 63 he just carded

For murder, he put his teaching on the shelf
That’s how Walter White found himself
“Dead man walking,” in the doctor’s voice
Cooking meth the natural next choice
The best pilot ever, I do say myself

From sex worker to cook
From singer to the book
Maya Angelou, an extraordinary life
Balancing achievement with strife
With words and sentiment she did hook
