Reviving the Art of Baseball Doggerel

Grandy!
No one with a bat is more handy,
With a stance coiled like ribbon candy.
Grandy!
His gait is smooth like aged brandy,
Stretching singles into doubles his modus operandi.
Grandy!
In any outfield, verdant or sandy,
He’ll grab more flies than the Rio Grande.
With five skills at his command, he
Picks up his team like a Starbucks grande.
He could melt the heart of Tristram Shandy.
Man o man, that kid is dandy.
Can’t you tell? I love Grandy!

A response to the Tribute to Mark Teixeira…..
Unfortunately
The Indians see
Their destiny.
And obviously
It’s going to be
A white-flag party.
Apparently
They drink C.C.
in Milwaukee.

Let’s hope the Tigers didn’t
Shell out big ducats.
They’ll need money to equip
Their catchers with buckets.

Once a year, the Sox fans bring their pooches in,
which is better than a plague of frogs.
But the canines had to take the place of winning ball
‘Cause Chicago’s bullpen went to the dogs.
