BASEBALL PROSPECTUS:
Churned its writers
Turned towards fantasy
Still itself? We hope.

Sh*t still doesn't rhyme
Limericks are way more fun
Not just counting words

E.g.,... Boston:

There once was a Sox in Pawtucket
Whose glove was great, and he could chuck it
But Bobby V., it appears,
thinks Aviles "strikes fear,"
So as for the defense, well...

In all seriousness, glad to see this piece make a return, after KG tried it with his org prospect rankings a while back. I just, ya know... never liked haiku.

Haikus can still rhyme
But maybe it’s not their time
Not yet in their prime

Next time, limerick
Then I can get them out quick
Just hope they will stick

I mess with meter
On the bubble, I teeter
No comment beater

Thank you for reading
You help give my work meaning
You, I’m not beaning
