Ohio’s finest, Northeast birth of King James’ highness
The Chosen One from down the road in City of Akron
Baffled youngster set off to distant lands only to wander
Turned his back on legions of admirers in decrepit region
Name defiled in public after arrogance of The Decision
Mementos thrown in dumpsters, #23 jerseys in incinerators
Face placed on urinal mats, billboards torn to paper scraps
Hatred morphed malice, regal status mocked by masses
Royal rupture, so despised he made Kobe a loveable figure
Terrible parables of extravagant living but still miserable
Heat extinguished, lost soul left broken and anguished
Prodigal Son returned after a craven cowardly betrayal
Back home to occupy a monarch’s throne in frigid zone
Hatchet buried, mystic talents taken back to Lake Erie
Opted out Miami for concreted despair of Cleveland
Nike black&white Together commercial incites brethren
Powder tossed to Gods in heavens while crowd deafen
20,000 aficionados as wild as feral pedophiles’ smiles
Boy Wonder cavalier nerves of thunder torn asunder
Receding hairline underneath headband ran for cover
Notable comeback inept like amputee with baseball bat
Star-studded audience granted hardwood impotence
Handles in shambles like Michael Vick pit-bull scandals
No look passes’ blunders leading to eight turnovers
5-15 from field, gladiator with defective battle shield
Offense stagnant after The Monstars stole his talent
Conduct too mellow, Anthony walked Bron to gallows
Mere mortal came to a gun battle ready to grapple
Rope around neck but he choked before the strangle
Grim event left St. Mary from St. Vincent despondent
