Limerick Friday #436: Biff Doeren Dashes Hopes Again, Plus “Man In The High Castle” Provides A Welcome Surprise


Football expectations did rightly soar
Stop me if you’ve heard this before
For a half, State lived up to the rap
At halftime, Doeren took a nap
A Pack implosion was unsurprisingly in store

Ineptitude in the rear view
Abandoning the uncreative milieu
On to a real place
With real roles and pace
Putting on a Red Hat is my cue

The best we can’t always keep
For a show that made a comedy leap
Seven seasons will have to suffice
Of satire and irony cold as ice
One more season for the impeccable “Veep”

A fantasy draft from an odd spot
Just OK with what I got
Dudes nabbed just before my pick
Coaching will have to do the trick
In Season 20, this is my lot

The acting is surprisingly first rate
Depicting a world run by hate
“Man in the High Castle” is searing
The plotlines complex but endearing
Maybe, just maybe, it’s even kind of great

Last time

Limerick Friday #435: Feeling All The “Game Of Thrones” Feelings, Plus The Beach Launchpad


A zombie dragon took down the Wall
White Walkers on the long haul
Jon Snow sexing his aunt
Littlefinger no longer around to haunt
It’s a long wait ‘til the final season, y’all

Could it really be season 20?
Fantasy questions aplenty
A new year at our front door
The Scooters are back for more
A fair shake from Lady Luck for me?

Mid-life crises abound
Neuroses by the pound
No-talent hacks
Work only for snacks
Just as pathetic as it sounds

Offensive line in shambles
Setting up Cutler scrambles
Linebackers make you cringe
Maxwell always get singed
On new faces Miami gambles

Missed out on visiting Chip’s
But got to see an eclipse
As changes lie in store
Soul healing at the shore
It’s always my favorite of trips
