“I don't want the Coyotes sold, I want them to go bye-bye".
"The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft agley"
I'll be lazy with this weeks encore presentation ...
How we got here ...
Come and listen to a story about a man named Moyes
A poor franchise owner, could not afford his toys,
Then one day, while the League did not see
Down from the North came a guy named JB
Balsillie that is, Blackberries, Bankruptcy.
Well all you need to know is JB's a billionaire,
Rodier said "Let's move away from there"
Said "Canada is the place it ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck to move to Ontari-
0, that is. Poutine, Make it Seven.
...
Is it time to say good by to Moyes and all he wrought.
One last thread to share our final thoughts.
Or will we all be back again to this locality
To have a heapin helpin of thread one hundred and three.
Part CIII that is. Set a spell, Let the next shoe drop.
Y'all leave us alone now, y'hear?.
