I've been following them this year as well (around my work schedule). Here's my best offering for now, in honor of Powe (with due deference and apologies to Poe), although I did take care to mention Garnett. Also sums my thoughts of some QUESTIONABLE CALLS this season.

The Whistles (part IV):

Hear the tweeting of the whistles -
Silver whistles!
What a world of baffling calls their monody compels!
In the fury of the game,
How we shake our heads with shame
At the melancholy menace of their tone!
For every call that floats
From the rust within their throats
Is a foul.
And the people ah, the people -
They that dwell up in the bleachers,
All alone,
And who, cursing, cursing, cursing,
In that roaring monotone,
Feel an anger in dispersing
Empty beer cups or a stone -
They are neither man nor woman -
They are neither brute nor human -
They are Fans: -
And the referee it is who whistles: -
And he tweets, tweets, tweets,
Tweets
A paean from the whistles!
And his angry eyebrows bristle
With the paean of the whistles!
Garnett dances, and he yells;
Calling Time, Time, Time,
In a sort of Celtic rhyme,
To the paean of the whistles: -
Of the whistles:
Calling Time, Time, Time
In a sort of Celtic rhyme,
To the piercing of the whistles -
Of the whistles, whistles, whistles: -
To the screeching of the whistles: -
Calling Time, Time, Time,
As he kneels, kneels, kneels,
In unhappy Celtic rhyme,
To the tweeting of the whistles -
Of the whistles, whistles, whistles -
To the screeching of the whistles -
Of the whistles, whistles, whistles, whistles,
Whistles, whistles, whistles, -
To the moaning and groaning of the whistles.
