There once was a player named Douthit
whose hitting approach can’t be doubted
Ten years in the sun
Hit .291
He could, without no lingering doubt, hit.

All-Star Clerihews
Jose Abreu
DJ LaMahieu
And Hyun-Jin Ryu
Are my first triple-header All-Star clerihew!
Ketel Marte
Is a portable partay!
He’ll enjoy your booze
Whatever brand of vodka you choose
Jake Odorizzi
Better take it easy
And resist all that’s there to seduce and shock
On Cleveland’s red-light block.
Paul DeJong
Wears a lucky spangled thong
When the Cards are on a winning streak–
That guy’s a SuperFreak!
Cards’ Tables Turned
by Hilary Barta
In their beers all of Wrigleyville wept
Could it be the whole team overslept?
Redbirds lower the boom
All is woe, there’s the broom
Lo, the Cubs by the Cards have been swept.

Iambic Series
by Ira Pilchen
The Cubs and Cardinals will face off abroad
In London Town, a move we can applaud
I’ll take Wembley over Busch any day
Kris Bryant’s pleased, I bet he had a say
Out with Budweiser, bring the Newkie Ale!
The Arch? Who cares, we’ll see the royal gaol!
