Limerick Friday #397: A Brilliant Look At The ‘70s Music Industry, Plus Miami’s Bust Identification Season Is Quickly Approaching

The cutthroat ‘70s music biz

An NYC made of bellbottoms, coke, and jizz

A force of nature, Bobby Cannavale

Like a walking, snorting bacchanal

“Vinyl” makes you say “gee whiz”

Another in a string of defeats

At the hands of the Cheats

Cat Barber’s the best

But it’s a one-man team mess

Gottfried can’t afford many repeats

A rocky six-episode run

Finished with intensity by the ton

Was it another placeholder

For a psudeo-Scully and Mulder

There’s more to tell about a smoking gun

I motivate like Matt Foley

Fuck up the redesign, slowly

 I’ve given 35 presentations

Show up drunk without hesitation

My hair smells like desperation and Stoli

Can you cut on a dime?

Do you interview sublime?

Are you pre-injured or a bad fit?

Miami’ll put a ring on it

Welcome to NFL Combine time

Last time …

Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXVXIII: “Better Call Saul” Nails Its Comeback, While “Walking Dead” Wallows In Confusion

Trapped in the trash at the mall

Running scams to escape it all

Chasing what he wants with Kim

The walls closing down on him

How we’ve missed you, “Better Call Saul”

Blow it up once again

Or shuffle a position or 10

A rebuild or tweak case?

Is the question for Adam Gase

I’ll be over here remembering when

Hackers thumb the government eye

Saul is sexing a spy

Quinn is like Jason Vorhees

“Homeland” is now “24” degrees

Drink every time Carrie does cry

A giveaway for the Cheats

Continuing the rivalry defeats

Roy blew another lead

And his players cannot read

11 out of 14 Blue Devils beats

A zombie massacre upon its return

In Alexandria did walkers all burn

Maybe Glenn is Jason Vorhees

More often I say, “Oh, puh-lease”’

“Walking Dead” takes a sketchy turn

Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXVXII: Scam Newton Makes A Business Decision, Plus “X-Files” Makes An Erratic Comeback

Chances, Denver not given a stitch

But with talent on D they were rich

Cam protected his dabbing arm

And cowarded away from harm

Broncos reverted him to a whiny bitch

A late start to our new year

Embrace every worry and fear

February feels like a chance

To press reset and try to dance

Like Morgan, I just want to clear

A tremendous player, indeed

A defense he could read

And a stats hound to be sure

A self-promoting insufferable boor

Peyton Manning, retire now, I plead

A one-man show every night

In a lost season, a spot that’s bright

Cat Barber, a year for the ages

Performing on ACC stages

For sore eyes, he’s been quite a sight

Two more episodes remain

More monsters have been slain

The “X-Files” uneven return

Has ignored questions that burn

Watching has at times been a pain

Last time …

Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXVXI: NetFlix Does It Again With Binge-Watchable True Crime, Plus Megatron, We Hardly Knew Ye

The story of dimwitted, backountry hicks

Exploited by police on NetFlix

Framed at least once by the cops

“Making a Murderer” pulled out all stops

Justice gone missing in Wisconsin’s sticks

Thought his Mets tenure was through

But “La Potencia” has rejoined the crew

Can he put together a full season

And realize his potential beyond reason

Cespedes returning is quite a coup

“X-Files” returned with some sass

But intensity hasn’t come to pass

Scully & Mulder reunited

Had every fan excited

But the magic is gone, alas

Continuing to play hard

With little from Anya or Lennard

The Pack is simply outgunned

The roster has left us stunned

Gottfried can play the depth card

 

They called him Megatron

He dominated, then he was gone

Like Barry Sanders before

He left Detroit early and sore

Kudos to him for moving on
