Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXIX: Cinema Loses An Icon, Plus Don Draper Critiqued Season Debut With Vomit




R.I.P. Roger Ebert, sad days
Had a fortitude that did amaze
Much more than a movie critic
Wasting time on “G.I. Joe” and “Riddick”
Became a social conscience in some ways

Has-beens and fired coaches, you know
Broadcasting has reached a new low
Tools like Dan Dakich
Equivalent of verbal jockitch
Either add value, call the game or go

Storylines, the title game didn’t lack
Refs didn’t know a carry from a hack
At the end of a so-so NCAA tourney
Louisville stood alone on the journey
Then Pitino celebrated in a booth in the back

All the way from Scotland they came
Frightened Rabbit, what’s in a name
Rocked like a college kid
Sang and drank beer, I did
For one night at least, unlame

Don finally made a friend
Then bedded his wife in the end
Roger seeing a shrink
Peggy too driven to think
Puking at a funeral is so Mad Men-ed
