Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXIX: Deceit Shames N.C. On A Global Scale, Plus The MLB’s Steroid Era Never Really Ended




We are the theater of the absurd
Embarrassment not a strong-enough word
North Carolina, once a beacon of logic
Now a bastion of intolerance that’s toxic
A national disgrace, if you haven’t heard

One of King’s best recent books
Now a TV show worth a coupla looks
Under the Dome” translates OK
The story itself carries the day
Will drag you along by its hooks

Read about the ACC if you dare
Did too much research, if you care
Florida schools return to power
Cheating and arrests make the news hour
Hey, at least there’s football in the air

How long do you pay for a bust, man?
Bernie Madoff was involved
So there’s that mystery solved
Welcome to life as a Mets fan

The new wave of baseball cunts
Cheated the system once
They call him Lyin’ Ryan Braun
Everyone in the game wants him gone
Suspend him for a year, the ‘roiding dunce
