Twas NBA draft eve....

[Further]

The combination so far from Zags, Mags and myself. Add some.


Twas NBA draft eve
and all through the board,
not a scuzzbucket was roaming,
not even a troll.

David Stern was fixing
All sorts of trades
So the teams of his liking
Get players of top grades

The GM's were nestled
One per war room
With big boards detailing
Which players spelled doom

10 players in hotels
Ready to attend
Smoke their last joint
Before millions they spend

What first will happen
Will Noel be the pick
no offense to speak of
So thin he looks sick

The cameras zoom in
Each player looks daft
Another player picked
Before them in the draft

The fans sit and wait
They hope for the best
They've waited all year
For that diamond that's left

Slick suits and hot watches
Each struts as he enters
Stern looking petit
At the new Barclays Center

The numbers get higher
But still two players seated
One walks on the stage
The other defeated.

Five minutes a team
as some players fall
A trade is pending
A big Conference call

The rights to our pick
who will surly be a star
gets sent for some scrub
as we say au revoir

No matter the year
The pieces keep moving
Some teams end up winners
the Blazers keep losing

You could copy and paste "The First Noel" but I don't think he'll go first, and won't be much of a Christmas present.

...trying to use the word draft...

There was a priest who laughed
As he gulped down his draft
The salesman poked
The Naval man stroked
They went to the rest room to shaft.

the players were hung twixt the legs with no hair
in hopes that white groupies would soon be down there

Then up from the crowd,
There arose a loud "BOO!"
Fans united in disdain
For an arrogant Jew.

I hate myself for typing that.
