Reviving the Art of Baseball Doggerel
by Hilary Barta
.
It’s Spring, and a young fellow’s fancy…
well, you know, a fella gets antsy
.    Sees a bat, ball and glove
.    and his thoughts turn to love
Just like when Sid Vicious saw Nancy
.
Hilary Barta, well-known comic book illustrator, also runs Limerwrecks, a terrific website with limericks on monster movies, film noir, comic books and other pop culture.Â

Like Christmas a day
to be opened
bat and ball ball and bat
to argue in summer sunshine
disputing calls/balls on base
here/there and beer and brats
and then a quiet ride home

WHITE SOX
A Putz in the ‘pen,
Another in the dugout,
Not just birds Twitter.
.
INDIANS
No more wedge issues.
It’s time to see just how good
This ballclub can be.
.
TIGERS
A brand new springtime?
Whatchoo talkin’ bout, Willis?
This is your autumn.
.
ROYALS
Inevitable
As tulips and tree pollen,
95 losses.
.
TWINS
Mauer power is
Ensured for many more moons
In the new playpen.

Football done
Except perhaps in New Orleans
Basketball nearly so
The carousel of seasons
Has turned again
Baseball,the harbinger of spring
Working it’s way north
Soon from playgrounds
To “The show”
A new seaon will begin
Play ball!
