Limerick Friday #479: Joshy Rosen, We Hardly Knew Ye -- Day 180


For 'bout a minute we were posin'
Thought we'd found a chosen
But then we reckoned
We pissed away a fifth and a second
For three games of Josh Rosen

We all wear sweats and Lycra
Trading laces for Velcro
Now it's words we're heeding
Escaping into reading
And now my fiction's gone micro

Teams that seem untenable
And best described as complainable
We throw around promotions
For going through the motions
Is any of this sustainable?

For a football jersey they'll pay
Then curse the player all day
Booing acts of unity
Hypocrisy with impunity
Football's back -- yay?

Hate did hold sway
The world changed in every way
Heroes were identified
As a nation cried
Thinking of NYC today
