Ode to a Big Bust (of Wash and Williams)

Chris Shaw

Aristotle bows contemplative,

over a statue not native

To either Montreal or DC;

A Bust, Nay-

A Huge Bust,

The scowling Matt-

A manager awash in sudden

In-famy!

Mayhap in May, He may wipe

Away,  a sad Spectre

Of silent Bats.

What Say? Yon fair haired

Bryce, a Hit, you say?

Would, Could Yunel

Or fellow team mates,

Rendon, Werth or Zim-man

With arms Swinging,

Not A-kimbo;

Foretell

An expanded score,

O’er Fish, Metropolitans

To even, commit the

dreaded ‘Lantean Braves

To a well deserved

Baseball limbo–

The like in which,

Our belov’d Nats(!)

Have dwelt

Far too long,  and then

We shall Yawp,

a Joyful Series song.
