The poetry thread has barely been used
I guess everybody has not been a "mused"

when baseball gets closer I hope there'll be verses
i'll settle for limericks, haiku, and curses

be sure that you mention a Tiger or three
and a World Series title would fill us with glee

but now there is nary a poet in sight
so I say to you all, have a Tigerful night

So t-bob mentioned the poem I posted "over there" and I thought I'd post it again here, just because. Tis about my grandpa and I:

In the same room,
A hundred miles apart,
Drawn together only,
By the same passion of the park.
Two decks up,
Or right next to the field,
You were a different man,
Than had ever been revealed.
Now I miss you most dearly,
About once a year,
When that time at the park,
Comes back to me, so clear.
I was young, you were old,
But we were the same,
Tied in together,
By the love of the game.

School's been a bitch
My boss has been, too
I've been too stinking busy
to write even one Haiku.

As warm weather gets closer
and the school semester ends
I hope to find more time in my life
to make my ammends.

I hope this contribution
is the start of a trend
and I hope I find more time
so my negligence will end.

I also want to do one on Inge's pillow injury but don't know what song to use. The reason I use songs is because I'm not creative enough to structure these things so I steal from the songs. Maybe I can use Little Anthony's "Tear's on my Pillow?" :shrug:

Just for catbox...

To the tune of 3 Dog Night's "Shambala"

Play Guitar Hero, hurt your wrist
With reliever Joel Zumaya
Moving boxes is such as injury risk
With reliever Joel Zumaya

(chorus)
Ah, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Everyone is thinking, everyone is wondering
Injury-prone Zumaya
Everyone is waiting, everyone is wondering
Injury-prone Zumaya

(repeat chorus)

How does your arm feel, in the likes of Zumaya?
How does your arm feel, in the likes of Zumaya?

I can tell that you were really motor-biking by the road
Injury-prone Zumaya
I can tell that you were really motor-biking by the road
Injury-prone Zumaya

(repeat chorus)

How does your arm feel, in the likes of Zumaya?
How does your arm feel, in the likes of Zumaya?

(repeat chorus reprise)

To the tune of the Beatles "I Should Have Know Better"...whistle

I should have known better than to move a pillow
That I would end up injured and embarrassed too.
And I do, hey, hey, hey, and I do.
Whoa, whoa, I never realized they can move dangerously
This could only happen to me;
Can't you see, can't you see?

That when I sleep in my bedroom, oh,
That I can get injured like a loon, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh,
And when I say my 3-year old is there too,
You're gonna laugh at that one too.

So, I should have realized a lot of things before
If pillows are evil things than don’t give me anymore
Don’t give anymore, hey hey hey, don’t give anymore
Whoa, whoa, I never realized they can move dangerously
This could only happen to me
Can't you see, can't you see?

That when I sleep in my bedroom, oh
That I can get injured like a loon, oh
And when I ask you to forgive
You're gonna make me relive this thing too,
Injured by a pillow
Stupid thing to do…
