Reviving the Art of Baseball Doggerel
Big Klu and his guns struck fear
Into opponents both far and near.
His sleeves were ripped out, swung the bat with great clout,
The Mighty Big Klu was he.
His biceps were frightening, indeed.
He caused the old hardball to bleed.
No doubt he was big, he also was tough,
The Mighty Big Klu was he.
His muscles were au naturel,
Unlike DeRosa and Sosa, et al.
No steroids or juice, just nature unloosed–
The Mighty Big Klu was he!

There’s a Giant who thinks he’s a god,
His head hugest amongst all his squad.
No matter what he does,
By setting baseball abuzz,
All his records will be broken by A-Rod.

One way that this year’s Verlander-ing
Was different than classic philandering:
Pudge set it up with his pandering,
Aided by expert ball-handling,
But after all their energy-expending,
The Brewers had blue balls at the ending.

NEWS ITEM: Bobby Cox was ejected from Tuesday’s game by umpire Ted Barrett. This was Cox’ 132nd ejection, breaking the all-time record previously held by John McGraw.
Bobby Cox, did you feel rejection
When you broke McGraw’s mark for ejections?
Noble Brave, please don’t pout,
‘cuz getting thrown out
Endears you to our cheering section.

Not a pow

From a nine-year-old Chicagoan, who hit his first home run in Little League this past May and wrote this poem upon returning home.
