Limerick Friday #438: Don't Look Now, But The Pack Has A Squad, Plus King Finally Translates To TV With A Win

The offensive line was a joke

So the coach did rails of coke

We play like a dump

So let me do a bump

The 'Fins in 2017, folks

5-3 so far on the year

In a schedule that's a bit queer

Solid roster top to bottom

Need a tight end if you got 'im

Jordan Reed is an injury fear

The Pack's pretty good, I swear

Though the local media doesn't care

They'd rather talk UNC-Cheat

And sniff jocks as part of their beat

While NC State continues its tear

On decency he's taken a dump

With the IQ and awareness of Gump

Embarrassing days for our nation

What's led us to this low station?

Hate in the age of Trump

Mr. Mercedes the surprise of the season

Freaked me out beyond reason

Stephen King well-translated to screen

Acting better than I've seen

Need a Season 2 if you pleasin'

Last time ...

Limerick Friday #437: Tom Petty Passing Got Me Free-Fallin’, Plus Fantasy Got Me Bobbin’ And Weavin’

Vegas hit us all in the mouth

Reflecting an America uncouth

Then Tom Petty died

And every music fan cried

Especially those of us “Down South”

Jitters made me want to heave

Penalties made me want to leave

But amidst all the elation

I ask you Wolfpack Nation

Are you finally ready to believe?

A racist dotard pile of blah

Has made us the world’s pariah

Ignored his own citizens in need

Threw them toilet paper indeed

This is who are now, America fuck yeah

One woman lived only on bread fat

To her, other ones kinda fed that

From a place that didn’t know comms

To one rife with pom-poms

Culture shock, thy name is Red Hat

A league with ever-changing rules

Filled with no-trading fools

A 14-team stalwart once

Now it’s like third-down punts

Fantasy football, a kick in the jewels

Last time …
