I’ve been too busy with speeches and the latest Rex Koko novel (COMING VERY SOON!) to come over here to the blog and talk about the latest in baseball doggerel. For those of you who miss it, here’s my latest piece of hackery from over there, about Derek Jeter’s farewell tour.
Remember, if you like your baseball poetry fast, loose and unsentimental, check out Bardball daily during the season, and tell your friends about it.
The Captain’s Yard Sale
A dining set of broken bats
A navy pinstripe yoga matA year’s supply of Genny Cream
A keg signed by the vending teamA “2″ carved out of northern granite
A solar-cell vibrating hammockA zircon-slathered Yankee topper
A 2,000-gallon popcorn popperAnother ugly pair of boots
A vid lip-synching with the Roots“2s” in crystal, onyx, steel,
Beer cans, tree trunks and fresh vealA wondrous Joe-Girardi-shaped ‘tater
A Japanese robot fellaterIt’s not a hoarder’s dream or last mirage –
Just what’s stuffed in Jeet’s garage.
