Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXVIII: Six Weeks, 62 Episodes: My “Breaking Bad” Tour de Force


What can you say about Walt?
Cancer freed him from his vault
He paid the ultimate cost
Died like Jack from “Lost”
But at the end, he finally took fault

He found freedom blessedly
His story from sad to messy
No redemption in sight
But he learned love and fight
Now find hope on the horizon, Jesse

An enforcer with a heart of gold
Down the river he finally got sold
Mike Ehrmentraut was calm
‘Til Walt went off like a bomb
Hope his granddaughter gets rich and old

Jesse called him dead-eyed
He shot a kid and then lied
Crushed hard on Lydia
‘Til Walt had to get rid o’ ya
When Opie Todd got his, nobody cried

With visceral pain it was replete
Gut-wrenching from your head to your feet
Comic relief was hard to find
Only two really come to mind
That’s Badger and Skinny Pete

Wasn’t a big Skyler fan
At last, she did as well as she can
Protecting innocent Holly
And Walt Jr. from more folly
A family shattered by a marginalized man
