ODE TO TAN TOM

Now this is a story all about how

Tan Tom's life got turned upside down

So I'd like to take a minute just sittin right there

I'll tell you how he became the coach of a team not to be feared.

In Milwaukee Wisconsin hired and praised

Coachin the Warriors is where he spent most of his days

Chillin out maxin and relaxin all cool

And while coachin some kids at Al Mcguire's school.

When a couple of guys who were up to no good

Showed up wearing IU sweaters in his neighborhood

He got one little memo and as you can tell

Was lured from paradise straight into hell.

He whistled for a limo and when it came near

The liscense plate said "Indiana"

And had a Psi on the mirror

If anything he can say that this limo was grand

But he thought nah forget it, yo home to hoosierland.

He pulled into Bloomington hailed as a savior

And yelled to the limo driver "Yo homie text ya later"

Looked at the cornfields and was finally there

To coach "Its INdiana...It's Indiana" to further dispair.

Wrote this back in April the second Friday after Crean ditched MU for IU. Wrote it in about 10 minutes.
