Yard Sale
Bill Flatley 1972 (Minnesota)
Goalies when they struggle
Allow muffins through their pillows
They truly need some blockers
Not flamboyant flamingos
Filthy Clapper
Top-shelf or five-hole
Sieve sieve sieve
Gives up another goal
In a barnburner game
Many ginos and celly
Shoot the biscuit at the bucket
But hit him in the belly
Time to call the plumber
To take back control
This becomes a gongshow
If scored another goal
A hoser with good lettuce
Always wants to win
But when he gets Kronwalled
It's off to the sin-bin
Pull off the sweater
Throw a hard whale
A bench-clearing brawl
Becomes a yard sale
