Not Quite To Be Or Not To Be

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

To Watch or Not to Watch

was the question

so 

I raised my hand

and said

 

"Teacher,

can I just glance

at the score

on my phone

before answering

that question?"

 

She said yes

and within 

ten minutes of play,

I thought I read

the score wrong

because the Knicks

were being barbecued

and the Spurs

spat out

the pieces

Halftime deficit = 26 points

 

All I Wanna Do

is attend a pleasant

Suicide Party

 

Therefore,

I did Sudoku puzzles

and 

cursed the Universe

but 

after the 19th puzzle,

 boredom demanded

I take a look at the score 

and

—shockingly—

  my Knicks were 

un-barbecued

and about to snort

some miracle juice
