LeBron James Cleveland to Miami

Wow! The fingers are pointing but who is really to blame?
And before starting your list better remove LeBron's name,
Michael had Scottie Pippen for three & with Horace Grant,
With the final tray "Bad Boy" Dennis Rodman was in camp.

Probably the biggest name not surprisingly is Mike Brown,
He is not the head strategist, who should be leaving town,
Subtract another big name, the Diesel also known as Shaq,
Nor is he the one who put the knife in, MVP James' back.

Okay, two names are deleted any longer should we tarry?
It is the guy who put the team together, Mr. Danny Ferry,
From last years defeat, needed changes were no mystery,
Why did he wait till mid-season to get a "D" in chemistry?

Don't harp on LeBron's elbow or Shaq's injured thumb,
Saying this caused downward spiral in Boston is dumb,
Not doubles in tennis there's 11 guys in this team sport,
Where oh where were the rest of the basketball cohorts?

A defeat determines your greatest infrastructure need,
As is the case for several years now we lack the speed,
Offense, defense, transition, side to side, coast to coast,
Saw the roster twice I failed to see #86 Casper the Ghost.

I'm not a basketball aficionado just a residential area fan,
By watching the Browns I know an already defeated plan,
No steel chain can ever be stronger than its weakest link,
Criticizing Mike for not using his bench, what do you think?

Now you see him, now you don't, will he go or will he stay?
Are they committed to getting players who can actually play?
No need to argue about who didn't step up to do this or that,
Simply go online or read the Plain Dealer and check the stats.

New York, Miami, Chicago, the sun, the moon or Timbuktu,
He has all summer for deciding the right thing for him to do,
And should LeBron remain in Cleveland, things must change,
Or he'll garner many accolades but never a championship ring.

Now there is also a vicious rumor about guard DeLonte West,
And yes it is certainly putting LeBron's reputation to the test,
I will not dignify the rumor by writing in this poem the claim,
But, it's obvious that this guy was sleeping during the game.

When cracks begin to appear in a solid structure due to neglect,
It's never the fault of the laborers only the designer & architect,
No matter how many practice sessions or how long you rehearse,
You will only get out what ever you put in, for better or for worse.

June 19,2010 there's a movement, a rally, to get LeBron to stay,
Ok let's see, what will happen if after seven years he goes away?
Will laid off firefighters come back or closed stations reviewed?
What about police officers, many lost their jobs, I'm so confused.

There are over 600 teachers losing employment, what about EMS?
16 schools are now closed, more city workers, what's your guess?
Thousands of students can't read, write, very few do simple math,
Yet none of that is important as LeBron staying, excuse my laugh.

Last but not least, there is a question nagging fans a tad-bit,
Was the, "King" having elbow problems or did he just quit?
6 of 1, half a dozen of the other, exactly what does it mean?
Nothing, since to win it still takes effort by the entire team.

07/08/2010, LeBron James in free agency picked Miami Heat,
Cleveland Cavalier fans are again tasting the agony of defeat,
Ah wait a minute for this city what has this guy actually done?
The drought's been since 1964 when any kind of title was won.

If the team had surrounded him with the right supporting cast,
An extension could of been signed, the love affair would last,
Now attention might be focused on the real problems at hand,
Cleveland has serious issues more important than one man.

But, what about the financial impact, here he no longer plays,
Well, although he's gone billion dollar Cleveland Clinic stays,
People are blaming a fiscal collapse by a huge loss of revenue,
As a hospital bigger than any pays nothing, so what else is new?

It's now time for Cleveland, Ohio to get their priorities straight,
One guy with a basketball

bring law and order back how what realy going on in the da offices raling an dealing and give me a brake on those dumb reality shows who car about dumb people trying to break there necks are celebes can dance so can i

He's a midget,they can get more actors in the shot, probably the cheap thing to do these days.

Who cares if he leaves Law and Order??? THIS time HIRE AN AMERICAN FOR THE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Linus Roache was good as Batman's father but as the DA on Law and Order he was annoying.
(There's a distinct possibility that he was supposed to be in which case he's a pretty good actor.)
