Well, a Leaf fan I was born & a Leaf fan I will stay,
Even dreadful teams need a little love sent their way,
A repetitious exercise in futility must be exasperating,
Year after year a mere playoff berth goes poof - evaporating!
There's always next year or the year after that is a Leaf's fan lament,
A suffering ballad of hockey woe as I witnessed their descent,
Is it about money or talent or something that's just not connecting?
Is it possible that coach Carlyle is having issues with directing?
It doesn't matter, cause I'll still clap to the chant of Go Leafs Go!
I'll even raise a glass & toast them; but this years' toast is whoa!!
So this thread is all business & not much frivolity & frolic,
I'll try not to make this a downer rhyme that is sad & melancholic,
I have a habit of poking fun & Toronto sports teams are not exempt,
& sometimes my dates with poetry can be considered a lame attempt,
Toronto the Good - a city with such a historically proud & good reputation,
I wish that fix was as easy as a download of a "Do Better Application"....
I'll still drop by from time to time & might even post a picture or rhyme you a rhyme,
So for now, this is Loocie signing off & wishing you all happy thoughts & much luck,
For there's icing on the cupcakes, but is it time to ice the puck?
