Such a shame meritocracy’s on the way out,
in all of those sports we can’t do without.
But is there a problem in need of some spin?
Will everyone like it if everyone wins? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<<chorus>><\/em> You want some equity? – try diversity Skip meritocracy in the teams of the NFL, <<chorus>><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Skip meritocracy on courts of the NBA And then there’s Major League Baseball – how hard can that be? <<alt chorus>><\/em> Ohhh it’s come to this – for my life can’t figure why – <<final chorus>><\/em> Keep meritocracy – then add diversity. <<repeat final chorus>><\/em> Keep meritocracy – then add diversity \u00a0\u00a0 (The Random Poet:05022022 <<<< Skip Meritocracy is set to music – release is tbd >>>><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Skip meritocracy ? – oh…-oh… no…..
how’ bout instead we combine the two
let’s get smart – how ’bout youuuuu?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
with more diversity all will do quite well
but smaller players are sure to get hurt –
so can’t shove, use a flag – no mo’ pushin’ into the dirt <\/p>\n\n\n\n
with more diversity everyone plays –
if you’re tall – gotta walk back and forth on the court
males it more fair for the players too short. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s so well suited for diversity –
Deep pockets will leave with their buckets of cash –
so every team now can play 500 hundred and one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
we’e gettin’ hit by some bug —-like the fluuuuuuuu
I hope my dentist – that she don’t get bit –
or my doc —-how’bout youuuuuu? –
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
does it make any sense ? —-ah—ah—ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I like my baseball -and football too —
as it is — how ’bout you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
does it make any sense ? —-ah—ah—ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
even baseball – don’t you like it too? — \u00a0\u00a0
as it is — how ’bout you? \u00a0\u00a0
as it is — how ’bout you?
as it is — how ’bout you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
