March Madness Blues
Or: "My Brackets Are Busted"
(Sung to the Tune of "The Far
mer in the Dell")
My brackets are busted,
My brackets are busted,
Oh, no! I watch them go!
My brackets are busted!
All my picks have lost,
All my picks have lost,
Boo-hoo! What shall I do?
My brackets are busted.
The Buckeyes bit the dust,
The Jayhawks, said "bye-bye!"
Blue Devils beat and Gators gone,
My brackets are busted.
The Final Four is set,
The Final Four is set,
Oh no! I've lost my bet,
My brackets are busted.
UConn has prevailed,
Kentucky's standing tall,
VCU and Butler too,
My brackets are busted.
Congrats to the Final Four,
Oh, may the best team win,
Oh no! I won't predict,
Who'll win it all this year!

Post a CommentThis was great!
Though I am not in the thick of action, I understand the feelings. I generally go for a good game than go with any favorite. But it is tough. I never bet all my life! But I enjoyed the feel of the poem, Mike - siva
Very entertaining and enjoyable!
I am still in pain and recovery over this KU being gone but UK still being there. Ouch!@
