There is a young Phils fan from Nutley
Who roots for his team, and not subtly:
“I’ve a shrine in my home
And I’d write them a poem
But there’s nothing the rhymes with Chase Utley.”

Ned Yost, Done Like Rump Roast
by James Finn Garner
Milwaukee’s head honcho Ned Yost
Led his teams to October–almost.
When CC Sabathia
Didn’t prove a pa-NA-cea,
Ned’s career with the Brewers was toast.

NL East Limerick
by Mac Thomason
There once was a manager named Willie,
Who drove all the tabloid writers silly.
But what’s really funny
Is that with all their money
The Mets finished after Atlanta and Philly.
You can see more of Mac Thomason’s writing at his blog, Bravesjournal.com.

Ode to the Pontiff
By Doug White
The Pope in his big funny hat
Gave mass where Joe Torre once sat
A little old lady
Said, “Well yea, but maybe
What would Ron Blomberg say about that?”

All Right, a Few More Limericks to Pile on Barry
The Barry Bonds Limerick Trilogy: “Three Strikes and Yer Out!”
by Lou Carlozo
Canto One:
Farewell, Barry Bonds, Mr. Droider!
With a noggin as big as a goiter.
Can you take 30 years
Worth of jailbird jeers
In the prison yard parks where you’ll loiter?
Canto Two:
How many home runs could I pump
If I took 90 shots to my rump?
73 in a season?
It must stand to reason
Ask Barry–that Balco-ball chump.
Canto Three:
If Barry partook of the ‘droids,
It’s a cinch his career is destroyed.
Needles stuck in his ass,
Now he’s in a morass–
Strike three, ’cause the Feds are annoyed.

The Ho of Fame
by James Finn Garner
If Barry needed any incitement
To confess, now here’s his indictment.
Else, to prison he’ll go
To be someone’s ho,
Where anal rape’s the daily excitement.

Back in the News
By Doug White
Barry Bonds is back in the news
On CNN, Fox and even “The View”.
Though reporters have hedged
And say “it’s alleged”,
Everyone knows this time he’s through.
