One Strike and You're Out

Rarely has notoriety been more enjoyed 
than by the newly discovered asteroid. 
Our friend, 2024 YR4
has come knocking at our door. 
So, scientists trained a telescope 
and sadly had to give up hope - 
painted on that rock in words that seemed to shout - 
"one strike and you're out".
