Talking Counter

Show Notes

’Twas the night before playoffs, and all through the hall, Not a keyboard was clicking, not a mousepad at all; The headsets were hung by the monitors with care, In hopes that a trophy soon would be there.

The players were nestled all snug in their chairs, While visions of aces danced up in their glares; YNk in his hoodie, and SPUNJ in his cap, Had just settled down and moses is still bald
