Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXVIII: Tony Soprano Finally Goes Gently Into That Good Night, Plus “Mad Men” Teeters To An Intense Finish



James Gandolfini’s time to go
Too young at 51, don’t you know
Such an awful thing
Candles lit at the Bada Bing
Tony Soprano, say it ain’t so

Five years already passed
Can’t believe time flies so fast
Gallo, still missed every day
And remembered in every way
Your imprints will forever last

Why some feel his answers are funny
His anti-acne cream’s a bit runny
The bitterly douchey Pop-a-zit
Of class, he’s got the opposite
Great team, try to be a bit more sunny

A season to remember at State
Alas, the bats went cold late
Inopportune mistakes
Is really all it takes
A title will just have to wait

Mickelson had a trophy under his nose
‘Til another last day of “Oh nos!”
Merion tamed the best golfers around
Tension abounded on the final round
The worthy victor was emotional Justin Rose

The return of creepy Glen
Add Bob Benson to list of con  men
Don sends a message sublime
Saves business at the same time
Plus Pete’s in the game again

Kenny got shot by Chevy
Don’s back to drinkin’ heavy
Sally off to boarding school
Peg’s made to look like a fool
Storylines for the finale? A bevy

Last time …

Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXIII: HBO Breaks Up The Summer Doldrums Again, Plus Time To Dust Off The Scooters




Prohibition and politics never boring
That describes the ‘20s, roaring
“Boardwalk Empire” has it all
“Sopranos” + “Untouchables,” doll
A show that you can’t be ignoring

Scientists everywhere are quite cheery
Found Higgs Boson, though still leery
Huge news for every lab wiz
But like 6 people know what it is
And three of them are on “Big Bang Theory”

Heat that we can’t deal with
Has me reaching for a beer and a fifth
Millions struggle without power
Really weird at this hour
Because global warming is a “myth”?

A year ago, labor strife in NFL
This year, headlines from courtroom hell
Bounties and defamation and suspension
And more NFLPA-commish tension
Would tread carefully, Roger Goodell

The dog days stifling and hazy
Just wanna be cool and lazy
But it’s time for rankings and computers
And a bounce-back for bad-luck Scooters
Fantasy football is back—crazy
