You will like them on their wheels.
You will like how great it feels.
You won’t have to eat it with some hams but you will LOVE “Mean Legs and Jams!”

On Saturday, June 13, at SkatePlex (5311 E. Busch Blvd., Tampa):
The Darlins will skate with countless whams,
When they play in “Mean Legs and Jams.”
This Seuss-ish double-header bout
Will carry a great deal of clout.
Switchblade Sisters just can’t wait
To send Cigar City Mafia to their fate.
The resurrected Black Widows are skating strong,
But Gainesville Roller Rebels could prove they’re wrong.

SkatePlex in Tampa is where the show takes place;
When doors open at 8 p.m., come show your face.
Fun halftime games will ring your bell;
Raffle tickets with exciting prizes they will sell.
Butterfly Challenge* is the charity of choice,
So bring your dough to give them a voice.

Bring your lawn chair for a closeup seat,
But be careful where you place your feet!
Advance tickets are $10 for a whirl,
Purchase them from a derby girl.
Or on bout day at the door,
Tickets will be 12 bucks for sure.
Military, students and kids (under 18) won’t pay as much,
Tots under 5 are free as such.
After the bout, head to Gaspar’s Patio Grille (8448 N 56th St.).
This bar and restaurant frantic fans will fill!
