Haiku Friday: The World Series


It's that time! This year, the Washington Senators are playing in the World Series against the Houston Astros. Here is some trivia about these rivals (which I got from the sidebar of a Trump website):

-- The Senators were formerly known as the Montreal Expos. Before that, they were Milwaukee Drillers, and before that they were the Washington Nationals, so it is kind of going full circle.

-- The "Astros" name came from a pinball machine!

-- No team from either city has ever won the World Series.

-- Five of the players on the Senators and three on the Astros can only tell time with a digital watch.

Anyways, let's haiku about the World Series this week! Here, I will go first:

The Senators name
Comes from the root word
"Senicillentcy."

Now it is your turn. Just use the 5/7/5 syllable formula, and have some fun!

but strong and cute. [SWOON]


(And BTW: Your source is wrong - Houston HAS won the World Series before, 2 years ago -- https://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/11/texas-newspapers-houston-astros-won-its-first-world-series)


 
Senators won once
in 24, Nats have not
I have my tickets!

 
The Detroit Tigers
Down 3-1; first World Series
I recall. Thrilling!
 
Positive vibes in
Metro Washington unites
people. A good thing!
 
Osler, please do not
Get your "facts" from anything
With "Trump" in the name!
