Roses are red
Violets are blue
I wish I could rhyme
As good as my dad
Violets are blue
I wish I could rhyme
As good as my dad
Birdie birdie in the snow
Broken wing and broken toe
Took him in and fed him bread
Then I crushed his f@@ken head
Our marching song in combat prep school
Broken wing and broken toe
Took him in and fed him bread
Then I crushed his f@@ken head
Our marching song in combat prep school
In Kentucky's realm, where hoops aspire high,
A team once thrived, with glory in their stride,
But now, alas, their fortunes seem awry,
As wins elude, their talents seem to hide.
The basketball court, once graced with might,
Now echoes with the sound of missed desires,
For players flee, with prospects shining bright,
Yet find themselves entangled in worse quagmires.
Oh, Calipari, mastermind of blue,
Your promises of greatness fall so short,
For each departure leaves a void anew,
And hopes of victory vanish in report.
The Wildcats, once a force, now struggle, lost,
Their past success a distant, cherished ghost.
A team once thrived, with glory in their stride,
But now, alas, their fortunes seem awry,
As wins elude, their talents seem to hide.
The basketball court, once graced with might,
Now echoes with the sound of missed desires,
For players flee, with prospects shining bright,
Yet find themselves entangled in worse quagmires.
Oh, Calipari, mastermind of blue,
Your promises of greatness fall so short,
For each departure leaves a void anew,
And hopes of victory vanish in report.
The Wildcats, once a force, now struggle, lost,
Their past success a distant, cherished ghost.
I took a swing at it, but mine sucks. Yours is great. XD
King John the first, from Pennsylvania,
Conquered Kentucky with his charm, his guile.
In basketball, he sparked a mania
And King John then said -- think I'll stay here a while.
He scored Cousins, Bledsoe, and Wall as well,
But lost to King Huggins -- a fray in York!
John lost to UConn, who battled like hell,
But in the next war, his powers uncorked!
King John the first then conquered basketball,
With Davis, MKG, Miller and Jorts!
Jones, Lamb, Wiltjer, Teague -- I can't name them all,
This was John's peak as the lord of all sports!
Meh, let's just skip, oh the next fifteen years,
King John's departure was met with great cheers.

A Pint of Plain is Your Only Man
When things go wrong and will not come right,
Though you do the best you can,
When life looks black as the hour of night –
A pint of plain is your only man.
When money’s tight and hard to get
And your horse has also ran,
When all you have is a heap of debt –
A pint of plain is your only man.
When health is bad and your heart feels strange,
And your face is pale and wan,
When doctors say you need a change,
A pint of plain is your only man.
When things go wrong and will not come right,
Though you do the best you can,
When life looks black as the hour of night –
A pint of plain is your only man.
When money’s tight and hard to get
And your horse has also ran,
When all you have is a heap of debt –
A pint of plain is your only man.
When health is bad and your heart feels strange,
And your face is pale and wan,
When doctors say you need a change,
A pint of plain is your only man.
