Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Gridiron Caesar

Some Saints got caught at nasty stuff,
Doing a bounty hunting gig.
Sportsmanlike pay was not enough.
"Suspended" ordered Mister Big,
Roger Goodell, football commish
Over an empire run like Rome,
Where if tiz the emperor's wish,
Saints are outta the Superdome.
These bad boys can seek to appeal
To Goodell's goodie softer side.
But an emperor knows for real,
Stabbed in the back comes with the Ides.

Hail to the Emperor Goodell,
To put these sinning Saints through hell.
