MITCH MARNER (Hamlet, ACT IV, Scene 5)

Tomorrow is the playoffs last day
All in the evening betime
Am I a pawn at the tv screen
A Bobby with no Valentine?
Then up he rose, and donn’d his mouthguard
And dupp’d the home-team bench’s door
Let in the slot, takes not a shot
Never does he playoffs score

WILLIAM NYLANDER (English Nursery Rhyme)

The rose is red, the violet’s blue
The honey’s sweet, yet fans loathe you
Thou art fast, thou can score
Yet fans seem to loathe you more
The lot was cast and then we drew
Fortune shrugged, said “what can you do?”

And will play for peanuts til 2032
