At Citi the Cubs were defeated
Their pitching and bats weren’t heated
Their sizzle thus chilled,
They fizzled, were stilled
To Wrigley they now have retreated.
The Alcoholic Cub Fan’s Next Request
By Stuart Shea
I’d rather drink Harvey’s Bristol Creme
Than watch Matt Harvey shut down my team.
First Love
by Debbie McLeod
O Mariners! I am about
To lose all hope in you.
Longest active post-season drought?
It makes me feel so blue.
But — my heart took a journey
Up to heaven with Ernie,
And my Cubs dreams may finally come true!
Anticipation
by Hilary Barta
The Cubs sit at home feeling great.
The rub’s the next foe on their plate.
Be it Dodgers or Mets,
We’ll give odds! We’ll take bets!
This “W” year we won’t wait.
2 Haiku
by Stephen Jones
Not your “same old Cubs”
Epstein brought ’em back to life
Maddon let ’em loose
Fans dance in the stands
Don’t believe in no goat curse
Joy in Wrigleyville
