10 to 15 years ago, the Killer Strawberries had a good run and were almost undefeated. They played for the league championship 4 or 5 years in a row, winning twice. The following is a conglomerate mishmash of that time, which could ring true for any of the games played during that time.
Here’s
a small tale of a Strawb’s game of shame
Which
sums up the way they played every game
From
battles of glory to being robbed as well
There’s
no shortage of stories and lies to tell
Butcher
Brophey brought a tear to my eye
As
he speared his way to an early goodbye
Gawdawful
Gumby kept singing the blues
Because,
of course, Devono hadn’t a clue
Pajama
Man went home to bed
He
was tired of hooking, or so he said
The
Vice, as it turns out, wasn’t in on the con
And
before you knew it he was gone Dad gone
The
Marquis de Save couldn’t save the game
It was
too far gone, ain’t it a shame
Warren
Peace showed up late
Gave
it his all, till he got the gate
Mayor
Maynot couldn’t decide
Go
forward or back or keep shooting wide
Shiny
Sean Brightly was all lit up
Incensed
at the cross check from one young pup
Freight
Train Laronde stayed right on track
Even
and cool as was his knack
Slickery
hickory-dickoried the ice
Felling
everyone he thought didn’t act nice
Dr.
Thug hooked, clutched and grabbed
Mauling
the enemy till he too was nabbed
Mag Boy
raced and foamed like a shook up can
He’s
come a long way since Magnesium Man
The
Ice Marshall’s wig was on straight and tight
Cautioning
the transgressors as was his right
Now
as some of the Strawbs have gone to seed
There’s
a new batch causing their foes to bleed
Ripping
through games like a team on a mission
They’re
carrying on the Strawb’s fine tradition
Names
of some other Killer Strawberries who have “gone to seed”
