Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXV: McCain Chases A Flush As Syrian Lives Debated, Plus Poised For “Boardwalk Empire” Return

On his fellow Congressmen did drone

While McCain f’d around on his phone

Playing poker, trying to stay awake

While Syrian lives are at stake

High time for a quiet nursing home

Pushed through an empty time of year

Of boring sports to steer clear

The NBA has floppers and repeats

Baseball, a snooze of cheats

Finally, NFL football is here

Nicholson announced retirement today

Think he’s earned enough in play

Was he phoning it in recently

Though he certainly acts decently

Doesn’t he just play himself anyway?

To avoid a fantasy disaster

Must draft smarter and faster

For McCoy and Forte, I be rootin’

Hated to pick Cam Newton

CBS called me “Draft Master”

Can Nucky possibly lay low?

How will sacrificing love affect Harrow?

Of Margaret, what will become?

An A.C. with Capone should be fun

“Boardwalk Empire” is back, dontcha know

Last time …
