Limerick Friday #454: When "Stranger Things" Feels Like Reality TV, Plus OBX Ever And After



A real love note to the '80s
And all the mall Biffs and Katies
Will got lost in the plot
Hopper is dead (or not?)
"Stranger Things" made good TV out of Hades

An Indy visit we couldn't skip
For a memorable training camp trip
Then Andrew Luck said goodbye
We tried hard not to cry
And moved on with a quivering lip

"Chrenobyl" peeled back the coverup plaster
About ideology going nuclear faster
Demanding party before people
Turning leaders into sheeple
Something familiar about this profile of disaster

Flores off to an ugly start
For a braintrust that's never been smart
Tone-deaf in every dumbest way
For improvement we just have to pray
This season shaping up to be a hollow fart

An escape when real life is pending
Family and waves, the ocean kept sending
Then the Atlantic made its reckoning
With school and work beckoning
Another summer, another beautiful ending

Last time ...
