Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXIV: Taking In A Route At Hot, Dusty Pinehurst, Plus We Won’t See The Likes Of Tony Gwynn Again



Kaymer made putts that were obscene
And drove like a German machine
We hung out on five tee
Where Dustin Johnson had to pee
It was over early, but it was a scene

Was definitely pretty droll
Got the Steelers on a title roll
An oft-overlooked coach
His teams beyond reproach
RIP to Chuck Noll

Around the world, it’s thriving
In the US, they say, “Too much diving”
Have you seen a basketball game?
With too many flops to name?
I, for one, glad the World Cup’s arriving

Analysts kept blowing the Heat
Refused to accept defeat
‘Til the Spurs wrecked ‘em soundly
Then were applauded roundly
Sports coverage a laughable feat

Farewell to the best hitter I ever saw
His swing made you drop your jaw
To Tony Gwynn all fans were connected
His passing hit me harder than expected
Always had a smile and guffaw
