POETRY AND BASEBALL.
POETRY AND BASEBALL. Nick said that when he made his post he had in mind this post (@morncale on Twitter):
“Barrold L. Bonds’
defunct
who used to
crush a maplehit-heavy
homer
and break onetwothreefourfive recordsjustlikethat
Barry
OPS’d 1.4
and what I want to know is
how do you like your Hall of Fame now
Mister Bud”
This is based on E. E. Cummings’s poem on Buffalo Bill:
“Buffalo Bill’s
defunct
who used to
ride a watersmooth-silver
stallion
and break onetwothreefourfive pigeons justlikethat
Jesus
he was a handsome man
and what I want to know is
how do you like your blue-eyed boy
Mister Death”
I’m afraid that’s not entirely accurate! I made my Molly Bloom post prior to this one. Either way, this was the superior concept and execution.
