Chicago is singing the blues
The Cubbies continue to lose
Their hitting’s abysmal
The season looks dismal
Don’t stop any presses, not news

The ace on the White Sox, Mark Buehrle
Now hurls like T.V.’s Mr. Furley
Goes into his kick
Then throws like he’s sick
And exits the game rather early.

He once chased Aaron and Ruth
With the callow aggression of youth,
But from his head to his toes,
Just like Petey F. Rose,
McGwire won’t face up to the truth.

Will this be the year of Go-Go Sox
or simply another “Oh, No Sox”?
A team that is trim
with vigor and vim
or one that is full of so-so jocks?

It’s Spring, and a young fellow’s fancy…
well, you know, a fella gets antsy
.    Sees a bat, ball and glove
.    and his thoughts turn to love
Just like when Sid Vicious saw Nancy
