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..
