Spring Has Sprung a Leak



First of the Year

by Hilary Barta

The besotted on Clark Street are searching
Dodging potholes they’re parking, then lurching
To watch Cubbies they swarm
Though a drubbing’s the norm
At the bottom those barkers are perching.


It's spring in Chicago, and that means my limericks turn to baseball, and that means the Cubs, and that ain't good. This and much, much more at Bardball.com, reviving the art of baseball doggerel.

Thanks, Ike. Dopes spring eternal.

We sat in the bleachers expecting
to see some hardcore fans genuflecting
but our Easter day treat
just got mashed in defeat
under signs Ricketts' guys are erecting…


Love your LimerWrecks!!!
