That angry young Cub named Zambrano
Takes aim at team mano-a-mano.
.     Their Triple-A game
.       Fills Carlos with shame
And his rage will not wait till next anno.
.
Hilary Barta handles his rage by posting limericks every day at LimerWrecks.
A great effort – and without even an aromatic hint of bat guano!
All right! Literary references! Soon we’ll need the annotated and footnoted version of the site. Studies in Bardball.
Crap! I mean, guano! That should have been “will not wait”. Copy boy!
The editor’s pretty attentive,
and readers like something inventive,
But that all goes for naught
if a change isn’t caught
and the writer is anal-retentive.
I
want to be
a macho
limericist.
(Jim, your comment/limerick is both highlarious and highly relevant. Very well done!)
The error I mentioned was mine
The editor published the line
I don’t cast aspersion
on either rhyme version
I just like to hear myself whine
