Just Another Original Chicago Bulls Ditty


Oh hell, what a crime, what perjury
D. Rose out the rest of the year 
with an ACL injury
Bring in the Boozer, bring in the Brewer
let's get drunk with dunks in nets so clear

Let's turn the corner, bring in Kyle Korver
three-pointer shots galore
Let John Lucas the third take his turn
jumps and dunks and more

Rip Hamilton, surely now on the mend
he's consistent as when a Piston
and still insistin' to roll it in at the end

Let it hang, we got Deng and CJ Watson too
As winners, I see they've been plottin' for you 
Whoa, here comes Joakim Noah
six shooters on his side
And he ain't jokin' when he shows ya
it takes more than a horse to break his stride

Oh, we have "Asik and destroy" as announcer
Stacey King likes to say
The Bulls not meek, nor a toy 
A championship ring at the end of the day

Oh look, another amazing dunk
And it's being applauded by Neil Funk
and the rest of the cheering crowd 
The opposition looks like they're drunk
When the Bulls pour it on so loud

Thank You, Bulls!

Thank you Chicago Bulls - What A Season


Well, the Bulls had concluded this season
at the hands of the Miami Heat
My mind, it pulls from me a valid reason
...King James, Bosh and Wade
They ruled over Rose and the Boozer's feet

Derrick Rose, the 2011 League MVP
talented yes, but so very humble too
Though our Chicago Bulls lost to the Heat...
Our hearts are from empty
We are full of pride, our team complete

Thank you for bringing such excitement
to the Madhouse on Madison, oh what a run
Under the stars of enlightenment
What a  great season - one that was won!

Chicago Politics and the New Technology

Rahm Emanuel

Just a few months ago, I sent Momma an email
I wrote: Our next mayor is gonna be that dude -
Rahm Emanuel
And, Momma wrote back. She asked, "Who?"
I replied, "Momma, you know - he's that dude,
who is the Chief of Staff to Obama.

Momma wrote back, "President Obama?"
I repllied, Yes, the dude born in Hawaii
who moved to Chicago in the mid Eighties
Momma emailed me back, "The 1980's?"

Yes Momma, Obama is a product of the 20th Century
Momma emailed me back, "Oh yeah, Obama was
the head of the Treasury."

I replied, No Momma, President Obama
was an Organizer, an Illinois Senator,
then a Senator of the United States

Momma wrote back and said, "My memory
is about to fail me, so why don't you email
a dish of spaghetti - the proper rememdy
and maybe a few Strawberry Shakes.
