Dr. Tom Isern is a history  professor at NDSU who with his wife produces a facebook show each Friday evening from his house in rural West Fargo. I told him I wouldn't be able to watch last night - March 18, 2022 - because the State Class B Boy's Tournament was being held. His comeback, well, then write a ballad about the tournament. I produced these two limericks instead: 

Isern said then write a ballad.

Ha, he doesn’t know in music I’m challenged.

It’ll be a debt unpaid,

Watching Class B Boys play is valid.

Then there is this one:

He said write about the tournament,

Just use some mature judgment.

I could predict

The winner I’ve picked,

But my head might become an ornament.
