Limerick Friday #427: “Veep” Is Back And All Is OK Again Across The Land, Plus The Strange Metaphors Of “The Young Pope”


Of sanity, there is not a peep
The horseshit is more than deep
In this political season
The only voice of reason
Comes with the return of “Veep”

A ‘bag he always did seem
Tended to always whine and preen
But after many a year
Sergio got his “Ole” cheer
And took home a jacket of green

He was prickly and fickle
With well-timed rib tickles
The original angry comic
Furrowed brow and a gin & tonic
RIP to the incomparable Don Rickles

The Pack’s own Michael Cera
About defense he did not care-a
Just a hired gunner
His departure not a stunner
Mav Rowan, good luck in Bavaria

Jude Law is all sneer and mope
As Pius XIII, all sadism and hope
Eviscerates the Catholic church
From his hypocritical perch
HBO did it again with “The Young Pope”

Limerick Friday #426: Red-White Game Becomes A Family Affair, Plus After A Barrage Of Promos, The Masters Is Upon Us




Football in March is welcome, certainly
Though tackling was approached thinly
The cousins cheered on the Pack
And laughed all the way back
They even got to meet Ryan Finley

Every final minute was the same
Key whistles in every game
The glass slipper shackles fitted
But even Cheaters admitted
The championship was pretty lame

A ‘Fins draft bust roll call
Would last the entire fall
From Avery to Green to Ginn
Bosa, Kumerow, we never win
But Dion Jordan’s the worst bust of all

Each headline worse than the last
Good thing nothing gets passed
Apologies to the world at large
We’re trying to escape a sinking barge
Somebody explore impeachment, fast
 
Masters Week has arrove
WASPs descend in droves
Augusta conducts a spring dance
Led by the insufferable Nance
Let’s see whose green jacket gets wove
