Reviving the Art of Baseball Doggerel
Huge savings now with your NY Mets!
It’s as cheap as baseball gets!
You need a slugger? Come on down
Our prices are the best in town!
Starters, bench help, closers too–
We want to make a deal with YOU!
Are we crazy to sell for less?
(Just ask Madoff:Â The answer’s YES!)
We need dough before Yankee stars
Hire us to wash their cars.

When Big Z said “I quit”
Jim Hendry jumped for joy–
That’s 18 million dollars he could save.
Of course, Big Z then said,
“I’m just an excitable boy,
And I hope you’ll let me back inside the cave.”

Man in a white suit
Stealing signs for the Blue Jays
But they still don’t win.
Baseball & fallibility?
A sport of humanity
Of human error
Of endless furor
He’s safe! He’s out!
But baseball is not
An exercise in replay
Whatever current sway
Complained during
Winter month expectation
& lifetime dreaming
Caring more for passion
(More for argument
He’s safe! He’s out!)
Roger Clemens says “I’ll walk”
to clustered eager media
leaving court prosecution balked
warned by a bench previous
Know the rules
don’t fudge the facts
just prove the act
(& steroids run to trivia
rupturing historia)
Now $10 Million of trial prep
taxpayer dollars up in smoke
Clemens amid hollers walks
backdoor to Cooperstown
