Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXII: A Baseball Icon Passes, Plus The Heels Cheating Story That Just Wouldn’t Stop




Don Zimmer has passed to many tears
A baseball legend with stories for years
Some called him a “Gerbil”-looking guy
Others tabbed him as “Popeye”
Always reminded me of Coach on “Cheers”

A somber commemoration
For those who saved a nation
Not to mention the world at last
D-Day’s70 years in the past
A salute to the greatest generation

Flexible and a stalwart at the same time
Omnipresent, serene and sublime
He was Gallo’s running mate
A good, long life was O-Dog’s fate
Had a great Dad, plus a 17-year prime

San Antonio cut off the A/C
Smoked out the Heat easily
LeBron got the cramps
Haters gave him pussy stamps
Can they still win title #3?
 
The latest to torch UNC’s cheating dance
The one and only bipolar McCants
At sham classes he did scoff
As Roy Williams signed off
Burn it down before he “recants”
