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
