For basketball (cager) fans, especially IU fans, here is former coach Knight who was dubbed as "The General", hence the Cager General.
I am the very model of a lauded cager General,
I’ve admiration, legend, fable, planning bull, but men are full,
I show the kids my rings and then, promote my fights hysterical,
I swear upon the chair I threw on court for B-Ball spherical
I’m living hell, but sainted too, my fans are sure fanatical,
I often planned persuasions with the refs who are too radical,
With clout I know I’ll screw with ‘em, I’m steaming as calls got obtuse,
With zany, fearful acting out, I swear it makes my lot produce
Chorus:
With training clear, relax, block out, beware the high post spot abuse,
With pain and jeer, attacks and doubt, his glare will a bad shot induce,
With strain severe, reacts with shout, he’ll stare if you forgot the deuce
I understood expendable and consequential play mistrust,
I crow, “Deny the passing lane or see while I portray disgust,”
In sport, the chatter, “so unstable and will maul and spin or pull,”
There is no merry coddle in a lauded cager General
Chorus:
On court, no flatter, he’s unable and will stall to win ‘er all,
He is the very model of a lauded cager General
Although my tactics, theory, no charges and stay on the block,
The passes hard across court are a bitter waste, eye on the clock,
Promote with yell the high picks and the times to seal the route across,
Gin tonics I abhor, pursue a rash of T’s without a loss
I can yell and pout at rotten calls on dirty fouls and hacking spree,
I know that choking players urges BLOGS of critics whacking me,
And I am scum to league, a bitch, absurd abuse has been a chore,
I bristle at affairs which are eternal pretense, mini-bore
Chorus:
Send missile, say your prayers you yellow journal writer, skinny whore,
Oh this’ll be like flares from the infernal offense, in a roar,
Dismissal, call their dares, no more paternal defense, win a war
Then, I incite a squashing skill, I dabble in profanity,
And quell the huffy Email with a smack of my own vanity,
On court, my spatters at the table, fan ‘em all, go win ‘er all,
I do not ever coddle as a lauded cager General
Chorus:
With snort, ref scatters, if he’s able, plan a brawl to win or fall,
He is the very model of a lauded cager General
With tact, when I grow as a gent, the clamor gone for travelin’
When I sit still each night with vows to stifle, quit unravellin’,
With touch and care, exhorting and advising with a fanny pat,
And when I show advice to refs, content with just a canny chat
When I have spurned the regress that should fade into a mystery,
Sincere rapport impacts the fan, I’ll have my place in history,
In short, when I stop scattering the refs on whom I spat a wee,
You’ll say a better cager General, you would to that agree
Chorus:
Convey trend setter cager General and softly pat a knee,
Display red sweater cager General and not combat a flea,
You’ll say a better cager General, use heavy flattery
As my silly, wary game edge is just lucky, not a lot of fun,
I’m lonely and I frown as I am winning, although not a ton,
But still in matters so unstable, planning brawl to win or fall,
I am the very model of a lauded cager General.
Chorus:
But still in matters so unstable, planning brawl to win or fall,

Not into BB...but this sports trib, or anti-sports trib,(not sure which) tells it like it was, and reads extremely well...perfecto!
Incredible idea and execution!!!...555!!!
He's a piece of work, isn't he? And so is this-- nice one. I liked the "merry coddle" quip :D
What AFW said -- no turtle has ever made it into the NBA (Discrimination!) but executed excellently. Congrats on mastering the Major! (great matching title, too)
Thanks AFW, Leo, Fiddlegirl and TT. This one took awhile and my appreciation goes out to all who have written and mastered the MG.
Whoa! I'm not a big fan of basketball either, but this may be the most perfectly rhymed MG parody I've ever seen. 555+
Timmy1K - What Ant said about the perfect rhyming. Here's three triple doubles which should equal 5 5 5.
Thanks Ant, thanks Guy
