Shakespeare: A mid-semester night’s dream

Here’s my great idea, so listen up good. I’m going to rhyme this column together like you never believed I could.\nIt should give today’s paper a little style and flavor. It’s something new and different and something to savor. \nSo bring on the challenge and prepare for something great. I’m going at this full force, for I think this is fate.\nYou can call me Young Jeezy, Eminem or Jam Master Jay. For I’m bringing the rhymes and lyrics you’re reading today.\nCollege basketball is still rollin’, and we’re now down to four. Three more games and college basketball will be no more.\nIt’s UCLA, G-Town, Florida and Ohio State. I had none of these in my bracket, which I now really hate. \nNo Cinderella this year since all are a one or two seed. This may be off topic but have you heard about Rasheed?\nHe’s getting suspended for all the technicals he’s getting left and right. As a Pacers fan, seeing a Piston fail is such a great sight.\nBut how about the NHL East playoff race? Six teams fighting for one spot. Frankly it’s amazing but do you care? I think not.\nThe NBA playoff race isn’t bad, too. I hope my Pacers can make it. The Knicks, the Nets and the Magic all also want to take it.\nAnd more NBA news, Artest is telling his team he’s going to retire. I can only smile as I watch this transpire. \nHe’s got many good years left, as you can see by the way he plays. But something’s missing upstairs. No one understands his ways.\nFirst he had the brawl, then he asked mid-season for time away. The trade to the Kings was such a glorious day.\nBut I said from day one, and it was really no surprise: Given a little time, he would bring down that franchise. \nIt’s really too bad, and I wish he got a grip. Next year would have been great watching him play on the Vegas strip.\nBut enough about Ron-Ron, let’s go on with this story. It’s time to get pumped up for “Blades of Glory.”\nI can’t tell if it’s going to suck or if it’s going to actually be funny. I’m not sure I’m ready to dish out the money.\nOK, I must end but it’s really been a blast. As for rhyming columns, this is my first and my last.\nSo I hope you all enjoyed my rhymes even if they actually did suck. Frankly I really don’t give a ... darn.
