Christmas – December 25, 2010
by Stephen Jones
“Attack of the snow”
And I do labor-
Intensive work against drifts
Against waves of white a whale
Piled against cars trees homes
But don’t call me Ahab
Call me “Claus, Santa Claus”
Shaken like a snow globe
. . . Or stirred
Like a frothy punch or nog
I hunt happiness
‘Thar she blows!
Snowballs icy stars snowflakes
A pod of dreams scattered
North South East West
Call me Claus
Happy Holidays and a championship New Year to all our readers at Bardball!
One of the Good Guys!
by Don Nelson
Ron Santo was one of the greatest Cubs
All-Star with steady glove, you had few flubs
You had fun every day playing the game
How can you not be in the Hall of Fame?
Ron Santo, RIP
by Jim Siergey
They called Ernie Banks “Mister Cub”
but Santo could sure be his sub
He bled Cubbie Blue
(They never came through)
For Ronnie, ah, that was the rub
Jim often posts under the pseudonym Norm Knott at LimerWrecks.
