Bill Monbouquette
Needed no sobriquet
For a name with such musical flow

But Bill Monbouquette
A sobriquet did get
His teammates all called him “Monbo”

Did Bill Monbouquette
Ever regret
That his name went on forevermore?

Because Monbouquette
Was shortened more yet
As M’b’q’t’e in the daily box score.
