2013 NL East Prediction Haiku

BRAVES
Georgia is the world’s
Top pecan supplier. Plus
Andrelton Simmons
MARLINS
Why is a fish tank
So fascinating to watch?
Billion-dollar chum.
METS
No, it’s not a joke!
Cowgill and Valdespin are
In center field now
NATIONALS
Unnatural arm,
Unbelieveable results–
Can Strasburg stay fit?
PHILLIES
The old and infirm
Are the last to know that they
Are old and infirm
The Mets vs. The Nationals This Past Weekend
by Stephen Jones
Like political parties after an election
each one going an opposite direction:
The Mets going south, in some recession;
The Nationals baseball’s frontrunner this season.
Even the one win seems small satisfaction
to the Mets, whose promise is now deflation.
The Mets, like the veteran politicians,
know “Nothing gets done in Washington.”
“Fear Strikes Out” Strikes Out
by Hilary Barta
To the wall, back he goes, with a twirl
Grabs the ball, strikes a pose, then the hurl
.    Though the term’s not “correct”
.    I’ll be firm and direct:
I’m appalled Perkins “throws like a girl”
Hilary Barta shares his obsessions of old movies and comics at his daily limerick site, LimerWrecks.
