Editor’s Note: The limerick wars between Foolish Times fan Kiri and Gene, Gene, the Limerick Machine continue. Last month we printed Kiri’s response to Gene’s anti-Barry Zito limerick; this month Gene responds. For those who don’t know, Barry Zito is a pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. Well, Kiri thinks so, but Gene thinks otherwise. Anyway, to see the previous limericks, check out the website.

Dear Kiri,

You must know that was written last year
When we were all shedding a tear
But you must surely admit
He’s not worth a s**t
for 19 million a year

Yes, he won a Cy Young
but then he was very young
He’s not the great pitcher of lore
He’s just pitcher number 4
and his signing was really just bung

Lincecum, Cain, and Randy
have made our staff just dandy
Johnson took off the heat
So Barry can compete
And not be just Sabean’s eye candy

Go Giants!
