I was stunned to learn that Keith Olbermann is leaving Countdown and MSNBC effective immediately. Although I sometimes disagreed with him and even poked fun at Keith in verse, Olbermann’s departure leaves a gaping hole in my podcast-watching schedule.
I’ll miss Keith and look forward to his next show, wherever he turns up. In the meantime, here’s a limerick in his honor:
Limerick Ode To Keith Olbermann
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Dear Keith, to my shock and dismay
I’ve learned that you’re going away.
Though I’ve mocked you at times
For bombacity crimes,
I miss you already. Oy vey!
