Bobby Younger Apr 2020
A puzzle missing some pieces
The Fortress, violated
The good ole days
Watery pupils dilated
The land of silver spoons
Advantages? Yes, more than most
Hedonism, complacency PS5
Greatest, the best, a common boast.
Behold the unknown, the other side?
What will it look like to the masses?
Arguing the path
Elephants and *****.
Hating our neighbors
No one to call friend
The Apocalyptic prophesy
The inevitable end
There is a fork up yonder
Who is the yellow man?
Fight or flight watch it Die
Unpleasant smell, Tuna in a can.
Last chance, a wake-up call?
Four horseman saddled
Like White Water rafting
Who hadn’t paddled?
Staring it down, This generations World War.

Not This Year
Bobby Younger Apr 2020
The tourney never happened
Your bracket was never busted
The TarHeels, a certain no show
I hope the rims haven’t rusted
No Glass slipper for the 16th seed
No Cape for the Seminoles, FSU
Forget Late nights on the West Coast
When there’s nothing else to do
Drive the Chevy to the Levy
Don’t forget that it’s still Lent
Like Linus waiting for a Pumpkin
And y’all saving thirty cent
No Waterford Crystal to be bestowed
No jubilation or net cutting at all
There will be no mistaken Time Outs
Or arguing a missed call
No television cursing
No Blue Devil hating
Can’t jinx the shooter
What’s an RPI rating?
To Hell with it all we must let it go
Bye-Bye Miss America Pie
Shamefully hoping a team loses
For a third place tie.

— The End —
