With effluent apologies to Franklin P. Adams:
These are the saddest of possible words:
“Bucky Fucking Dent.”
Fenway’s a punchbowl, this trio its turds:
“Bucky Fucking Dent.”
The gonfalon prick who bedevils my dreams,
Wretched ninth man from the most loathed of teams,
That lexical trio with its hateful phonemes:
“Bucky Fucking Dent.”
