Man City have won it!
This FC of mood swings,
Capricious strikers, and
Suffering fans.
From tears of sadness
To tears of glory
In only five minutes,
Like in a trance.


To make something happen
You VENI somewhere;
You VIDI 
To know if you are up to the test;
You VICI, just like Roberto Mancini.
Psychology matters.
Let's learn from the best!

Scientists stated today
They will check DNA
To agree whether Bigfoot exists
Yay or nay.


They will analyze blood.
They will sift through some hair.
They will look at some things
Someone chewed on somewhere.


But whatever they find
In that DNA,
Life will not be contained, and
Life will find the way.*

Wizard of Oz: "If You Only Had a Raspberry!"

It's a miracle
When the sea waters part,
People are saved,
And chariots drown.
It's a miracle
When a fellow man dies,
But is raised from the dead,
Free from his thorny crown.

But it is rather sad
To hear today
That a fat-burning pill
Is a miracle too.
It's a waste of a word,
But be that as it may.
We should simply ignore
All this showbiz zoo.

Another gas price hike? How lovely!
'Cause I was getting kind of bored!
Let's tax our heartbeat, our breathing;
I'm certain we can still afford
To pay a buck or two for walking, sleeping...
What a joke!
Maybe they simply eat that money?
Hope so! 
There is a chance they'll choke!

Have you heard of Colorado parents showing some bravado?
Last year, many used their legs to help their kids get eggs!
Jump the rope! Be quick and bold to beat some four-year-old!
Always winning is a thrill! Teach your child the cheating skill!
Always grab more than before, till there is nothing anymore!
Yes, one year you force your way.
Next year, though, you have to pay.

What a shock! Another poll!
Still, the boss's head won't roll
Till you stop wasting your bucks
On his team that clearly sucks!
Make the owners feel some heat;
He'll be gone in a heartbeat.

Leafs Coach Ron Wilson Let Go

Why is it that I don’t care
If Ron Wilson is not there?

Why is it that I don’t mind
Our Leafs falling behind?

Why is it I am not concerned
One more season can’t be turned?

Why I don’t care to find out
Why the ACC’s sold out?

All the those whys and no because;
Is my apathy the cause?
