Limerick Friday #429: Like Tom Petty, The Mets Keep Freefallin’, Plus An Embarrassing Red House Is An International Dumpster Fire


The bullpen a complete joke
Harvey a douche full of coke
The defense full of holes
Injuries taking tolls
Terry Collins job up in smoke?

“The Fall” has turned out decent
After a start that was stuck in cement
Crimes pulled from Belfast papers
But here’s what gives me the vapors:
Scully with an Irish accent

Pro decisions strange
Chemistry out of range
Coach Keatts faces a huge test
To make a bad roster play its best
And bring about complete culture change

Managers without a clue or a plan
Enough creativity to power a desk fan
Battling thunder thighs
And harpies telling lies
An overflowing list of who to shitcan

Scandals at a frantic pace
Each day brings an impeachment case
Our government in shambles
As an orange liar rambles
How the hell did we get to this place?

Limerick Friday #428: An Ill Wind Drafts Through The Windy City, Plus “Silicon Valley” Has Finally Returned


A number of choices deft
Made the best of what’s left
A solid draft for the ‘Fins
As a new season begins
Now the Bears make you say WTF

The quirkiest show on TV
Is back for a season three
“The Leftovers” is more than unique
Uplifting with an overtone of bleak
The bar’s raised higher than I can see

With many howls
And drooling jowls
She’s off for a new elbow
To pain we’ll say hell no
The bill gives me anxious bowels

The worries have been heeded
A Pack rally is needed
Disappointing baseball season
Underachievement beyond reason
Now Avent has to get State seeded

After the workaday trudge
And endless political sludge
“Silicon Valley” offers a haven
In the tales of technology mavens
Bless you, incomparable Mike Judge
