Reviving the Art of Baseball Doggerel
by Stephen Jones
Anticipation’s eyes locked
pitcher-to-batter batter-to-pitcher
catcher & umpire the close-ended
joint of a bright green fan laid down
spread open warning track edged
& in an outfield’s groomed grass
a leather glove thumped waiting

Seasons come and go.
Shadows cross the land.
But in the passing parade of humanity,
One thing will always go as planned:
Adam Dunn will miss the cutoff man.

This is my short canto
For old Cubby favorite Ron Santo.
From the Baseball Hall Of Fame
Once again he was denied,
but instead of laughing out-loud,
I merely cried…
Wait until next year!

Proven, tested, young –Â locked up
Glory years in store

I wish the Astros all of the worst.
I find myself happy when they’re not in first.
With his dancing so flirty,
I wish Jose Valverde
Caught a cleat and his ligaments burst.
