Barry Bonds #8

by Tom Shea

O, his blood is clean as a geranium!
Here’s how Barry Bonds fills every stadium:

Weight work in the off-season
‘S the sole, simple reason

For his huge, massive, 90-pound cranium.

Barry Bonds #13

by James Finn Garner

Now, everyone knows it’s legit
When Barry Bonds strokes out a hit.

It ain’t no shot in the rear
With the cream or the clear.

It’ s…genes and….hard work and…like, that shit.

Barry Bonds #11

by Jim Powers

Though Bonds swings a bat with great speed,
He calls juice accusations hackneyed.

“What fun is to hit?
I don’t give a shit–

I like sliding on slick shoulders acne’d.”

Barry Bonds #10

by Doug White

Barry Bonds wanted so badly
To be just a little more manly

And hit the ball higher
Than Mark fucking McGwire–

Now no one remembers him fondly.

Barry Bonds #9

by Lou Carlozo

There once was a hitter named Barry
Who mouthed off at each Tom, Dick and Harry.

No one could explain
Til the steroids made plain

That his brain synapse “bonds” had gone hairy.
