Some say the team will end with Miller,
Some say with Tex.
From what I’ve seen of bullpen filler,
I’d much prefer a quicker killer.
But if we’re bound to perish next,
I think I know enough of fate
To say that for destruction, Tex
Is not as great
As oral sex.
“Fire” Advice
(With apologies to Hart Seely)
The Village Elliott: 8/19/15
Some say the manager they’ll fire,
He’s on thin ice.
From what I’ve seen of team since hire,
Think it’s best that he retire.
But if he won’t, here’s my advice:
It’s time the team just let him go,
hire new one who’ll suffice
to manage, though,
team’s old and slow.
Tex/Sandburg
Texeira plays
on little cat feet.
He stands watching
pitcher and home plate
and then stretches
to scoop a bad throw.
