Memory Is Notoriously Short

When it comes to sport Memory is notoriously short Tennis great Jimmy Connors was 'the brat' when teen-aged By his late thirties, his star ascended, he was all the rage His rival, John McEnroe, young and precocious Had a temper to match -- fiery, ferocious Now a network analyst, admired and respected From his mouth only 'pearls of wisdom' are projected Then there's Tiger, the mighty golfer, Tiger Woods Who cheated on his lovely wife every way a man could Disgraced and discredited, he landed in jail His name and his game gone, no wind in his sail Yet here we are, a few years later, in 2018 Seeing Tiger's face every day on our TV screens Playing golf again with panache and verve Millions wildly cheering his muscular curves What is it here that should really irk-us? We forget these guys are nothing but jerks
