Limerick Friday #452: A "Meh" Ending To A Searing Saga, Plus Scott Hutchison, One Year Gone


Tyrion got written out of dignity
Arya got sent out to sea
Scrubbed out every ho and pimp
Finished with a noticeable limp
"Game of Thrones," still a cultural victory

Another end-of-year swoon
But another chance arrives soon
Avent's crew to the postseason
Looking for a turnaround reason
To help the Pack shine in June

With con artists it is replete
They steal, lie, and cheat
Casting that works every time
And pacing that's just sublime
All hail, the return of "Sneaky Pete"

Sandra Oh gets all the critics' glow
But Jodie Comer steals the show
A memorable season two
Gave us a lot to chew
"Killing Eve," which direction to go?

He sang of loneliness and sins
Of angst and losses and wins
Revolutionary through Frightened Rabbit
But couldn't beat the depression habit
Scott Hutchison, soar on Scottish winds

Limerick Friday #451: 'Fins Take A Flyer On Fiedler 2.0, Plus Arizona Plays Rough


As the draft began to unfurl
And storylines wrapped like a hair curler
A hope for the future was chosen
When Miami traded for Josh Rosen
And found their next Hebrew Hurler

Some days, it can be a bummer
Some days, it can make you feel dumber
But sometimes, to your surprise
A kid listens and applies
That's coaching the boys of summer

Can't really say a peep
Without wanting to weep
Down brilliance's home stretch
Laughing enough to retch
Farewell to the comedy gem, "Veep"

Exonerated? Pretty rich
Lying is definitely his niche
Treason with no pretense
But Mueller stayed on the fence
Just one more cowardly bitch

Rocks as gold as Kenny Banion
And bigger holes than Biff Tannen
Surrounded by desert dust
Sand kicked up by every gust
All worth it for a look at the Grand Canyon
