Super Bowl Funk

I'm crying in my beer for good reason

     Super Bowl's the last game of the season

          No more tater chips and beer

               What am I to do all year

                    Except watch reruns of Jackie Gleason

Good limerick Bob. Channel 11 in New York still shows reruns of The Honeymooners after all these years. Jackie was a favorite son of Brooklyn.
