At a ballgame the eats can’t be beat
And they haul all the treats to your seat
.     You can sit on your rear
.     While you sip from your beer
And just call for a sweet encased meat.
Inter-League Play (Going My Way?)
by Stephen Jones
The bells are ringing for inter-league play –
A diet staple, just like a holiday.
What was once a summer oddity
Is now regular baseball commodity,
Some match-ups enhance old rivalries –
Like Mets/Yankees, a subway series.
Others are fuel for the ongoing fire –
To DH or not? That argument doesn’t tire.
To Judy and Der Bingle – my apologies.
Baseball is fathomless, with twisting eddies.
It continues, Zeus-like, with cosmic mystery
Ordaining: The AL keeps its singularity.
Clean Plate Club
By Jim Siergey
O, when will the White Sox start scoring?
It seems that home plate they’re ignoring
.     O please get a hit
.     and score just a bit
Heck, even the Cubs are less boring
