Balloon to explode
No easy way to describe
Yankees well alive

The Ballad of Susan Finkelstein
by James Finn Garner
.
The girl had “Phillie Fever”,
A massive fall attack.
The only cure required her
To lay down on her back.
To nab a pair of tickets,
What must a clever girl do?
A “Dirty Utley”? “Around the Lidge”?
A “Hamels Camel” or two?
But the cops horned in, and now her pic’s
Been spread across the nation.
Next time, p’raps, she first should try
Some Manuel stimulation.

A World Series Poem
by Stephen Jones
.
Eight . . . four . . . two
now the World Series venue
bat and ball ball and bat
pitchers arms curved awkward
that
their pitches skew batters
drive them crazy inside out
then
the lazy curve the sudden hit
between two players
now
the breath exhales
the game is on
