Who carried his cash in a bucket.
But his daughter, named Nan
Ran away with a man
and as for the bucket Nantucket
Okay so the pressure's on. I've been challenged to come up with a good one and to give Cookie some politics and some football.
Here we go.
Go Giants!
As for politics yesterday the Matts brought you elitist foreign poetry. Feh! In response I hereby give you the poetry of the regular guy. The poetry for thems of us who eat ice berg lettuce and who never organized a community. The poetry hunt polar bear. The poetry of John McCain and Sarah Palin. The limerick.
There once was a man named Willie
Whose players made him look very silly
The team was caught in a spell
Along came Jerry Manuel
and now we're three up on Philly
A Cy Young in both leagues would be grand
For Johan, that's just what we planned
But he goes nine when he starts
Or the team breaks his heart
No matter the sluggers he's fanned
Billy Wagner has been on the DL
And of late, the pens doing well
But now Wags' on the rebound
Soon to throw off a mound
There goes the season, oh well
There once was a man named Omar
Who thought he could take the Mets far
He sacked Willie with no class
On Alou he should've passed
We beg you Fred Wilpon, no more!
The Reyes brothers Jose, Argenis and Al
While at dinner with some of their pals
Said they may call us three kings
When we have World Series rings
A little bit later this fall
A dizzy young fella named Ryan
All season kept tryin' and tryin'
To get up out of bed
But alas 'twas his head
And the doctors, they just wasn't buyin'
A towering tribute to Doc
Once stood on the 42nd Street block
Across the Hudson he faced
To his career's end he did race
A cautionary tale to would be pro-jocks
On one knee Cleon dropped with the catch
The Amazins had won their big match
Reminding all who are down
The Apples an NL town
But you all know that, now didn't you, natch!
To SNY goes my strong plea
Bring Meet the Matts to a station near me
Neither Loud Mouths nor Beer Money
Bring the smarts or the funny
Like two well suited bald men, you'll see!
One Mr. Chavez wears a larcenous glove
From the fans he gets lots of love
Though Scott Rolen it seems
Is now afraid of his dreams
In which Endy steals homers, and flies like a dove
A dazzling young lefty named Koosman
In '76 did more winnin' than losin'
But to the Padres R. Jones
Cy Young's award goes
To us Met fans, Jerry's still superhuman! |

Wow Sam... so many limericks!! Now i see why you weren't a fan of the Haikus. Limericks are your forte. Bummed we didn't get a Gints or McPalin limerick though.
On McPalin... Question: Do we really want a President who says 'Warshington?' or.. a Vice President who sounds like Margie from 'Fargo?'

| Got to retire Koosman's number! And the Matts could have his retirement on their new SNY show! That will give us something after the season ends. |
