Online comment to 11/10 Memphis Flyer article which referenced Steve's penchant for limericks:
"There once was a Commissioner named Mulroy
Who's loved making rhymes since a small boy.
Now he's got clout
So he don't have to shout
Some say, that Steve, he's got gall, oy."

AND STEVE'S ONLINE RESPONSE:
Tribute limericks? The Commish is flattered
That literati act as tho his verse mattered
I hope you don't mind
If I respond in kind
So my poetic streak is not shattered
