Not That This Really Matters...

NBA All-Star reserves were announced today.  I've written a short verse to commemorate the occasion, enjoy:

All-Star reservers were handed out today with modest fanfare,

Kenny, EJ, C-Webb and GP were all there.

And while many dispute this or that choice or selection,

None could argue this studio crew could use a Barkley injection.

Way out West, there's tall white boys like Dirk and Pau, 

but sadly no love for the T'Wolves Big Al.  

(Despite 20 and 10 night in and night out,

he was snubbed 'cuz of his team's awful record, no doubt).

Brandon Roy is in and deservedly so, 

for without him the Blazers truly would blow.

(You know, like back in the dark ages of Miles and Z-Bo?)

There's also Parker, West, 

And Big Cactus Shaq.

Who's 36-year-old posterior left no room 

for 'Melo or Paul Millsap.  

The East's list of reserves include many who were worthy.

Take for instance, Danny Granger, 

who made the cut despite having to play with the likes of Troy Murphy.

Joe Johnson's the lone dirty bird,

And Chris Bosh is the only Canadian Dino.

While the Magic send Nelson and Lewis, but no Hedo.

Paul Pierce and Devin Harris round out the lot,

Although if you ask me, 

I'd say Ray Allen and Mo Williams deserved their spots.

But such is life in the National Basketball Association,

and snubs will be the norm so long as

the mob of fans who decide the starters lack any education.

Though it'd be nice to see a change, 

I fear there is no easy solution.

And let's be honest, it's a silly All-Star game,

so no need for roundball revolution.

TS Eliot ain't got shit on me!
