Editor’s note: The Limerick Wars of 2009 continue to wind down, along with the baseball season. Kiri Kiri the Limerick Deary submits the following in response to last month’s submissions, saying, “OK, I must submit one last baseball-related limerick to Gene Gene The Limerick Machine, Birdman, and Village Sky”:
I have to admit I felt slighted
when last month Limerick Deary wasn’t sighted
Though I wrote not last month
being down in the dumps
Cuz the Giants’ good efforts were blighted.
However there’s always next year—
And the Dodgers we needn’t to fear
They’ll not win the Series
and my spirits won’t weary
For my Giants I always will cheer.
(And now for my feeble attempt at Haiku… it’s a 5-7-5 syllabic, right??):
No matter who wins
when the ball sails toward the Cove
it’s a flight of grace.
From Mutual Admiration for Baseball Member,
Kiri Kiri the Limerick Deary
