the Birds will battle
zilch in Seattle

The fans of the Brooklyn Dodgers
Once rivaled those of Roy Rogers
But when Trump came on
Those standards were gone
Trigger got stuffed with old codgers...

Dodgers in five. Yankee fans weep. 
Four times Freddie Freeman went deep. 
We hope to see you here
again, this time next year.
Duke and Mickey go back to sleep....

Pee Wee Reese was a diminutive shortstop
For the old Brooklyn Dodgers when I was a tot
With Jackie at second
Both are legends
Heroes of my childhood and a joy to watch...

Ah...
bemused,
bountiful,
belligerents. 
Covering caskets,
cocooning, cringing cracks
doubting, desolate, dodgers; 
forever fishing, finding fist,
that will always swim before they hit....

New Born Generation

Were draft  dodgers and  allegiance never sworn;
And burned bras by women that once were worn;
Peace  would  parch;
Had freedom march;
A new generation of people ended up being born.

All in the Game


a call to the
bullpen by time
warner
tie your cleats by
florsheim
everything in
moderation by red
label vodka
plan ahead by forest
lawn

and beneath the
glittering
twittering
insta- scat game
show reverie
an absolutely
electrifying,
stupefying timeless
wonder

a baseball game

Now it’s Roethlisberger versus Rodgers
To escape sacks, they’ll have to be dodgers
 
   Two very strong defenses
   Big egos and pretenses

When the ball’s caught, they’ll try to dislodge her

There are only 60 minutes to play
But these games last four hours anyway

   Referee calls disputed
   Jeers from the crowd unmuted

But the instant replays will save the day






Entry for Royal Trevino's contest...

Sitting here 
in the community college 
    looking at Shawn Green's "The Way of Baseball"
I realize that
    the baseball season will soon be upon us 
Hordes of fans will cheer on the New York teams 
Ever a Met fan I have decided to see their farm team - the Cyclones 
   this year 
  Brooklyn has a replacement for the Dodgers! 
   This is a matter of grave import 
for Brooklyn - garden spot of the world 
   and for the U.S.A...

Just in case this is something you didn't know before:
the Dodgers don't play baseball in Brooklyn anymore.
Ebbett's Field is a ballpark we will no longer see.
It was torn down, and is now a part of history.
Even though those boys in blue have gone away,
they are still playing the game of baseball today.
In a new town, the Bums have achieved greater success.
Home games are played in the California city of Los Angeles.

   I realize the baseball season

Hordes of fans

Ever a Met fan 
   I have decided to see

    Brooklyn has a replacement for the Dodgers of old 
   This is a matter of some import

The Mets triumphed! 
I have been a fan for many years
How many of you out there in the darkness 
care about what happened in Citifield
I even have a T-Shirt which shows the Brooklyn Dodgers on it
They were a ground - breaking team
Allowing the first black player 
to show off his skills
They also had the great Sandy Koufax 
Who some considered to be "King of the Jews"
 To his credit 
 he took off on the high holidays
 and inspired poetry when he did!...
