Sonnet in Honor of B.M., Who Must Be Watching, Too

Ok, I'm trying something different
Tonight, because it is the DNC
And the Orioles are now in first place (!)
On nights like this I miss your company

And cigarettes and flipping back and forth
'Tween CNN and Animal Planet
While eating Arby's 5 for 5 with beer
And coffee and a break for some Swinburne.

So tonight I have the radio on
Bee-ay-ell to hear the postgame report
Of the game, and C-SPAN on the 'net to
Hear my people talk some sense sore lacking.

I know that this one doesn't rhyme but still.
It's mainly that I'm jazzed--'sup with you, Bill?
