He Is Arozen

by Michael X. Ferraro

Tampa Bay fans’ new novena:
“Randy Arozarena”
Walks on Sunshine, with Katrina:
Randy Arozarena
His bat shoots flames, yet burns cleana:
Randy Arozarena
Hits like Joe Greene, only “Mean”-a:
Randy Arozarena
The Court of Slumps can’t subpoena
Randy Arozarena

 

The Brandon Workman’s Comp Blues

by Michael X. Ferraro

So I’m suing the Phillies’ bullpen
for inflicting emotional stress.
With a tight lead, it’s not “if” but “when”,
the box score will reflect their BS.

My symptoms are nausea and worry
When Girardi raises his arm.
Rival hitters have no such jitters–
as they rush the dish in a swarm.

The lawyer is sure we’ll get millions
once the jury’s apprised of the facts.
Our “relief” corps does not provide said,
and the onus is mostly Klentak’s.

 

Fall Classic Time Capsule

by Michael X. Ferraro

The home teams were way too hospitable.
And Justin Verlander? Quite hittable.
From Greinke to Howie
Game 7 was Wowie
*And those boobirds spat fire political.
