NL East 2023 Spring Training Forecast Haiku

by Stuart Shea

Atlanta Braves
Without a weakness—
Except for being human
And, thus, changeable.

Philadelphia Phillies
The leadoff hen lays
Or does not lay; she knows of
No other outcome.

Miami Marlins
One more year, no fish.
Can’t be my cheap bait—no way.
God just detests us.

New York Mets
Ah, spring of Butto!
Lucchesi! Bickford! Megill—
Just not Senga. Ow.

Washington Nationals
Land of limousines,
Riding on retreads: Senzel,
Gallo, and Winker.
