The First Galaxy Limerick of 2008, Dedicated to Missed Opportunity

The Galaxy send the ball through
And the players all know what to do
The HDC rocks
’cause the ball’s in the box

Our Friday Galaxy Limerick: Welcome, Becks!

Okay, never mind. You know it’s bad when you read it back to yourself later and can’t figure [...]
Friday’s Not-Quite-Limerick
By: Laurie |I couldn’t wrap my brain around my traditional Friday limerick, so instead I bring you a…a…another poem. I have no idea what you call it. (So I wasn’t an English major. Sue me.) I also can’t make the annoying new WordPress upgrade accept commands like “Center,” so this isn’t, y’know, visually [...]
