Just days ago I had gone
To the natural history museum:
To see if MLB’s remains —
Like the dinosaurs —
Were now on display
But while looking for fossils
Of owners, players, and …
And, oh look, that’s Rob Manfred …
I gratefully learned from a guide
That the toxic asteroid —
Like the one so long ago
That sealed the dinosaurs’ fate —
Had been averted, and now
The only display of note was
The species named “Universal D.H.”
