Sorry to be a day late but I was kind of busy buying a car yesterday. My bad.
Dawn starts us off and can't get away from a Red Sox boast. Sorry, you lose. :D
...when the Mighty Papelbon strikes you out.
pope terry. brings us around the bend with
.. where the whole town smell of trout...
Want realism? Brian in Oxford
....Casey's steroids test's in doubt.
....David Wells gave Casey gout.
....Donald Fehr's a blowhard lout.
....Casey fouled one off his snout.
Cert. Never can make up his mind. Here's his second attempt.
.. - all the folks know it's a dud ville:
There's no Wal-Mart and the only traffic light in town's gone out.
whodatdare goes in two different directions.
... The peanuts and beer have run out....
From within the closet, mighty Casey has come out...
ohara gets all poetic on us
... But there is no joy in Mudville -
with hearts so full of doubt.
Oh Casey turn this game around the faithful crowd had cried
Oh Casey rise to the occasion, a thousand lips had sighed
And a thousand dreams were answered as that ball cracked o'er the field
And Caseys right to run was won and Mudville raised the shield.
chewy, you should have changed this to Yankee scout, that would have crushed the hearts of Mudvillians
.. The mighty Casey left with the Red Sox scout.
I'm actually a bit disappointed that some of you didn't attempt to kiss my backside with a Orioles reference. You probably would have won for sure. For SHAME people.
Brian in Oxford for his "Casey's steroids test in doubt" entry! Close second was ohara giving the poem a happy ending, but with Barry Bonds about to disgrac...er, I mean....break the all time home run record, I felt Brian knocked one out there. Pun completely intended.
Touch 'em all, Brian.
Good game, good game.
ReplyDeleteThat's almost the closest I ever got to winning anything. The last time being a tea-towel at a school fete.
Nice one Brian... though O'Hara's cheered me up for a good half hour or more.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bart!
ReplyDeleteIt's clear my secret formula is:
Volume, volume, volume!
That, plus I started at "bout" and thought of every possible rhyme, and if any would make a goof ending to the poem.
Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI'll get those interview questions to ya soon.
Hi Bart-Man,
ReplyDeleteNice set of wheels there. And what a terrific range of entries for the Rhyme and Treason contest.
Always a pleasure to visit here.
Keep smiling
David
Dunno how, but my entire list of Technorati favourites vanished. Just want you to know that yours is the very first blog that I'm re-instating on the Favourites.
ReplyDeleteBart,
ReplyDeleteI like the car! You;re getting close to that Japanese hybrid.
Oh my! Does this mean the blue S-10 is no more?? Awesome car cuz! :-D
ReplyDeleteohara- Keep trying, maybe next time is the charm.
ReplyDeletebrian -
ReplyDeleteCould be. See if it works again.
dan -
ReplyDeleteYou better.
David -
ReplyDeleteThank you, and thank you.
Deborah -
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm not. :D
Heather -
ReplyDeleteNot at all. Jessie and I figured having a truck around is useful. It's sitting right next to the Mazda on the left. It simply couldn't take the pounding of my daily commute anymore.
Awesome! I couldn't imagine the blue truck actually being gone...
ReplyDeleteI am so behind on blogs, it's pathetic. Such a bad blogger. How dare they make me work!
ReplyDeleteAs for the Red Sox related response? It's not my fault. I am pre-programmed that way. =P
