The City of Angels has won the Cup
45 years in the making it was
Ecstasy when Dustin Brown hoisted it up

Thunder vs. Heat in NBA Finals

joemicik — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 13:29:32 +0000

A team from the south called the Heat
Accomplished a marvelous feat

For the second straight year
Their fans had a cheer

They’ve made the Finals once more
With a Game 7 win on their floor

They face the mighty Thunder
Who’ve had a run of great wonder

Beating Dallas and the Lakers
Has proved they aren’t fakers

After they beat the Spurs
They’re the team the bettor prefers (a few, anyway)

This prediction is just for kicks
But I’ll go Thunder in 6

He’ll Not Have Another; No Triple Crown in 2012

There once was a horse from Kentucky
Who made some bettors quite lucky
But the Belmont fell through
Since his leg is askew
Now the race might be sucky

College Football Realignment Drama

joemicik — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 00:39:51 +0000

College football wants a playoff
While Florida State wants a payoff

The SEC wants the best four teams
Others want conference champs, it seems

We’re one domino away from realignment hell
Which conferences die? There’s no way to tell

This stuff’s been going on for years
Smaller schools are filled with fears

Realignment talks will never end
If it follows its current trend

I’ll Have Another Wins the 2012 Preakness

I’ll Have Another
Won the Derby and Preakness
Two-thirds of the way

During the Derby
I had picked this horse to win
Should have bet him now

Rangers vs. Devils in NHL Eastern Conference Finals

joemicik — Mon, 14 May 2012 02:14:57 +0000

Two Eastern teams to go.

The Devils and Rangers
Know of all the dangers

A playoff series brings;
Winner might get the Kings.

But to earn your way there,
You must win fair and square.

These teams have history,
There is no mystery.

Devils fans do recall
Their sad ’94 fall:

Matteau! Matteau! Matteau!
