Favre Returns

Standard

Word has come down from The Pack.
Of the return of our old quarterback.
We’ll see him once more,
To retire the “4”,
And I’m hoping he doesn’t get sacked.

“And, I’m Out!”

Standard

Tracy McGrady, former NBA All-Star, threw his first career strike-out, and walked away from the game.

In channeling George Costanza.
In leaving while raising his hands-a.
Tracy threw a No-Hit.
Then decided to quit.
‘Fore the fans have left from the stands-a.

The George Costanza moment I referenced can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YaaZZN9VYs

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Standard

My oldest is leaving today on the DePere HS French trip. She’s excited – I’m anxious.

Lifting off from the Land of Cheese.
My daughter heads off overseas.
I hope she has fun.
Can’t wait til she’s done.
So I can give her a big squeeze.

A Worthy Infestment

Standard

Nasty ants have invaded our house. We’ve killed easily 50 in the past week, and we can’t figure out where they are coming from. Time to call the exterminator!

I’ve recently favored a stance,
To rid my poor house of ants.
I’ve baited and sprayed,
Occasionally prayed,
And I’ll squish them if I get the chance!

This Scoot is Made for Walking

Chinese Scooter
Anyone who knows me knows that I am completely snake-bit when it comes to buying any and ALL things with a motor. I decided to try my luck with a used scooter, less than a month later…

I recently purchased a scoot.
To save gas money on my commute.
Today it just stopped,
Emitted a “POP”!
And I pushed it two miles in a suit.

Sirius Error in Judgement

Standard

Gary Oldman went on Jimmy Kimmel last night to apologize for comments he made that offended some people in a recent Playboy magazine article. He sounded very sincere and upset. I’m a big fan, and I haven’t read the article, but I hope people forgive him.

Oldman on Jim Kimmels show,
Said his Playboy remarks were quite low.
He made comments on Jews,
And political views,
And he’s woefully eating the crow.

Royal Delay

Standard

We’re all watching William and Kate.
And approaching the baby’s due date.
A girl or a boy
This bundle of joy.
Is delighting in making us wait.
