Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXVXIX: An Agonizing Adieu for TWD’s Gentle Giant, Plus Stewart’s Departure Leaves A Void For Journalism




The moral authority of the team
Made him expendable, it seems
Sloppiness cost us Tyrese
Brought the gang to its knees
Will this group come apart at the seams?

A legend has slipped away
A paver of Tobacco Road, you would say
The Dean of Four Corners
Left lots of mourners
I’ll remember him from the ACC’s glory day

The Grammys, a depressing zoo
A plagiarizing, no-talent crew
A ho-chasing tool
And unoriginal fool
Kanye, they’re laughing at you

Ed Sabol personified the game
Gave the violence a name
Told a story through his art
Film gave football its start
The NFL will never be the same

Blended comedy and commentary
Shined a light on politics scary
Jon Stewart revolutionized news
To the networks, he put the screws
A huge loss for verbal thrust and parry
