Notes About The Poem

The poem below is a restrained version of how furious we Chicago Bulls fans are...

Eighty-nine This Month

  
     89 this month, the Bulls’ owner has no clue
        who to trade or what to do

     The product out there now on the floor
        worth less than a syphilitic whore 

     Gave away the team’s brightest stars 
        rest of the league’s passing out cigars 

     Made Old, Slow Joe Biden look sharp
        He should have left with MJ* – at the top

     Jerry Reinsdorf, if you don't call it quits
        At you, Bulls’ fans are itching to spit 



     *Michael Jordan, who left the Bulls back in 1998

All sports are blood rental sports. Be the people you could never be.

Sorry that you are unhappy with the Bulls whom I don't anything about. I have never been much of a fan of sports. LOL..I know most men enjoy watching, participation or getting even more involved but me, I would rather do anything else. Sara K
