Macho Macho Mania
by Hilary Barta
That angry young Cub named Zambrano
Takes aim at team mano-a-mano.
. Their Triple-A game
. Fills Carlos with shame
And his rage will not wait till next anno.
.
Hilary Barta handles his rage by posting limericks every day at LimerWrecks.
Remember, “New Age” Rhymes with “Sewage”
by Hilary Barta
In response to Jim Siergey’s “Age-Old, New Age Question”:
When hearing the Cubs greatest hits
this listener’s dumped in the pits.
The discs sadly spin
a “What could have been!”
a record an earplug befits.
NL Central 2011 Haiku Predictions
By Stuart Shea
CHICAGO CUBS
Oh, Michael Quade—
Lead us up Mt. Zambrano
But slowly, slowly.
CINCINNATI REDS
Aroldis Chapman
Fast as a spring tornado
Wilder than berries.
HOUSTON ASTROS
Blooms on orange tree:
Figueroa? Barmes? Hall?
’nother sour batch.
MILWAUKEE BREWERS
Are you ribbing me?
Zack out for all of April?
I hate basketball.
PITTSBURGH PIRATES
Youth must have its day.
Better that green kids err than
Jeromy Burnitz.
ST. LOUIS CARDINALS
Albert? No Albert?
Rumors expand and contract
About new contracts.
One of the Good Guys!
by Don Nelson
Ron Santo was one of the greatest Cubs
All-Star with steady glove, you had few flubs
You had fun every day playing the game
How can you not be in the Hall of Fame?
Ron Santo, RIP
by Jim Siergey
They called Ernie Banks “Mister Cub”
but Santo could sure be his sub
He bled Cubbie Blue
(They never came through)
For Ronnie, ah, that was the rub
Jim often posts under the pseudonym Norm Knott at LimerWrecks.
