Nicknames!

Good haiku! Gavin made me laugh:

Pilots earn call signs
Some sound cool, but really aren’t
Lookin at you Wedge

(Note: Why “Wedge?” Because it is the simplest tool. Much like him)

And Christine just covered the waterfront re baseball:

Ballpark Nicknames...

Nickname: "six foot" Dick
a retired undertaker
His wife, "Noodle"

Sits next to "Salty"
resembles a fisherman
They anchor front row

The "Log Lady" sits
behind home plate with her score
book; eating hot dogs

"Uncle Bill" and his
Missus sit with their daughter
"Barbie", husband "Ken"

Our favorite is
"The Weasel". An autograph
collector always

waiting beside the
dugout; game after game; his
book of player cards.

Names cultivated
lovingly, over many
seasons of baseball

He sits in his seat
until the fourth inning, then
gets up for a beer

and walks to pester
the scouts; so predictable
and finish his beer

Others include the
Geeks and the Twerps, Red,
and the Lounge Lizard

Each and every game
Cast of characters awaits
If they only knew..
