wow, this guy wants to win
he singed the hairs
on my chinny chin chin
The manager’s pissed
gives me the sign
hang in there bunky
the next one’s 99

Cubbie Opening Day Double-Header
by Hilary Barta
April Fools Rush In
To Wrigley the faithful had rushed
in hopes that the Pirates were crushed
From start to the finish
their wishes diminish
Till finally, fatally, flushed.
Opening Deluge
On schemes of the Cubbies it drizzled
as dreams of a “W” fizzled
It’s hard to succeed
when blowing a lead
Young Cubs fans already look grizzled.
