All-Star Clerihews #2: Clerihew Requiem
Rafael Devers
Will never say never
But he’s pretty sure
He wouldn’t go on a gastronomic foraging tour.
Paul Skenes
Mentors awkward teens.
Growing up in California
He too had acne and body dysphoria.
Elly de la Cruz
Has over 400 pairs of shoes
And 75 square meters
Of Odor Eaters.
Alec Bohm.
Wherever he lays his hat is his home.
But wherever he is across the nation,
He digs The Temptations.
All-Star Clerihews #1: Clerihew Resurrection
Tarik Skubal
Is always hungry for noodles.
Chow mein, soba, udon, ramen–
He just tells the waiter, “Keep it comin’!”
Garrett Crochet
Thinks those edible bouquets
Are a colossal waste.
“How much cantaloupe can one person taste?”
Seth Lugo
Reads a lot of Victor Hugo
Daydreaming of an understudy job
With “Les Misérables.”
Shōta Imanaga
Loves the generosity of Chicaga.
He never has to scrounge
To pay for a beer at the Nisei Lounge.
“Say Hey” (The Willie Mays Song)
By The Treniers
Did They Tell Me How to Pitch to Ted Williams?
by Bobby Shantz
Did they tell me how to pitch to Ted Williams?
Sure they did.
It was great advice,
very encouraging.
They said he had no weakness,
won’t swing at a bad ball,
has the best eyes in the business,
and can kill you with one swing.
He won’t hit anything bad,
but don’t give him anything good.
