Haiku Friday: My team lost!



So, three hours into March Madness, and my bracket-- which had Baylor and Iowa State going deep-- is toast.  Both were three seeds that lost to 14 seeds.  Sigh.

So, let's haiku about tough losses, in sports or other arenas.  I will go first:

I was in Boston
When Bill Buckner muffed it.
The town went silent.

Now it is your turn!  Just make it 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables, and have some fun!

Comments:
Don't haiku most days
double elimination
double teams in bracket!
 
Double teams in bracket
double elimination
takes one more weekend
 
first time my dad came
to watch me kick off and I
Charley Browned it
 
Michigan State, ugh
I will always loath you now
Poor Baylor Baptists.
 
Tee ball Wolverines
Thirty two to two Oh my
life lesson learned
 
Our house roots for Duke,
so for Harvard we did cheer,
but wow, dang Tar Holes!
 
1986
Duke's first championship try
Crown to Louisville :-(
 
Last game as Packer
Loss at Lambeau frozen field
Brett Favre still the man :)
 
Personally,I
Never cared,one way or tother
Whether folks usin'

Balls won or lost things.
But my daddy was a Cards fan
From Way Back,and it

Could make or break his
Day. No lip was took by Dad
If Musical didn't hit

It out of the park.
His eyes'd git glassy and temper
Raw. Naw--mattered if Cards lost.

 
Hell Prof (pouring myself a stiff Jack and Coke)--

I ain't been sober
For years on account of the
Damn Vike-queens. More Jack!
 
Packers vanquished my
Cowboys. I’ve hated the word
“tundra” ever since.
 
Mulkey's words are true
Niya, Nina, Prince and crew
Lady Bears come through.
 
Musial
 
My teams always lose,
Broken hearted is my way,
Bears, Twins, Vikings, Stars.
 
I had reams of note
Cards, but,-- Ephrata's debate
Team was so hot I

Forgot all I knew
About Taft - Hartley. Became
Fantasy-bound. LOST.
