Rick Monday
Born on Tuesday
Homered off Seaver Wednesday
Traded on Thursday
Saved the flag Friday
Broke Canada’s heart Saturday
Retired on Sunday
And that’s why people still talk about Rick Monday.

That old interrogative WHO
Was crushed when Trump said “Adieu”
It now sits alone
No fan mail, no phone,
Even shunned by his pals Bud and Lou
Artwork by the ever-popular Jim Siergey.
Never dreamed I’d want to see a
Ballgame broadcast from Korea
But to get a new fix
Of competitive kicks
I’d watch toad jousting from Tanzania.
