Humor that only empowers
Drama that brings tears like showers
The brutalities of mental illness
Shattering the English stillness
The sublime brilliance of "Flowers"
After a decade, the story kept livin'
Despite pettiness and relationships riven
"Deadwood" returned intact
HBO's best ensemble cast, a fact
At the first Swearingen curse, all forgiven
A staggering heat makes you number
As you mow to the tunes of Joe Strummer
You hit the pool and the beach
To camps and meets out of reach
All for a porch beer: This is summer
It returned just like it came
Amid subtitles and mystery and flame
A second season dropped out of the sky
Like a time travelin', cave-dwellin' guy
"Dark" vexes and intrigue stayed the same
Two decades of depth charts and boasters
Of rankings written on beer coasters
The WFFL was a tent post
When things got fucked up the most
An underestimated loss, I raise a glass to my toasters
Last time ...
