Since I already wrote a limerick review of the Fighter<\/em><\/a>, I wasn’t planning to post on that topic again. Even Melissa Leo’s “Consider” her for an Oscar<\/em> photo campaign<\/a> wasn’t enough to get me writing. Though for the record, I think she looks great in those pics and I’m rooting for her. <\/p>\n

Actually, now that I’m on the subject, here’s a message to Leo critics who fault her for showing herself in a more physically attractive light: You’re being sexist. Freedom of choice is a feminist ideal. So if Melissa Leo chooses to look glamorous and sexy for a change, that’s just fine with me. More power to her!<\/p>\n

But back to what prompted this post. Carry On Tuesday’s<\/em> saved by the bell<\/em> prompt<\/a> got me thinking about boxers, which reminded me of the Fighter<\/em> and inspired this limerick:<\/p>\n

Saved By The Bell
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n

The boxer was saved by the bell
\nAfter being in boxing match hell.
\nHe needed a break.
\nThat’s all it would take:
\nThat sound ere he once again fell.<\/p>\n

(Also for I Saw Sunday<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Congratulations Melissa Leo on your Oscar! I knew you could f…ing do it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
