In the spirit of Ice Cream’s most excellent new filking effort, I thought I’d bring another old tradition back. Instead of Haiku Friday, though, let’s make it a Haiku Off Day. I’m guessing there will be fewer of them.
Got mask in pocket
If I don’t put it on soon
I’ll make you more tense
A’s stealing bases
High socks flying, dirty pants
The new moneyball
Jurickson Profar
Jurickson Profar, Profar
Jurickson Profar
Mitch Moreland I used
to dread your at bats, but now
I like you to hit
Old Man Jed returns
Extra base hits, two ear flaps
Today’s Tom Sawyer
zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom
zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom
zoom zoom zoom zoom sleep
It’s been eighteen months
Since in person I saw troughs
The field and free kraut
But victories taste
Sweet in person or TV
There’s been quite a few
What could be better
Than eleven straight A’s wins?
Maybe we try twelve?
Oakland is in first
After 0 and 6, who’d guess?
Not me…..nonetheless
Shit I just fucked up
No I’m not taking no load
Stuff that Ramon says
Flew to Florida
Got tested for Covid todayI got tested for Covid
I’m negative. Yay!
(learn to count dammit)
Did they try to pry
The mask off your warm tan face
While in restaurants?
Most people wear masks
They take them off while eating
A bit of risk there
Worse on the airplanes
Most every seat was taken
Thought I’d better test
secret war on cash
what I found out blew my mind
back to a’s baseball
extra load? not me
the baseball gods will provide
smells like victory
draft report about
environmental impact
howard terminal
Castellanos up
a drive into deep left field
a man of faith fired
The A’s have night off
I’ll watch Padres and Dodgers
Not FKing Giants
Muncy and Neuse
Profar in the lineup too
Rooting for ex-A’s
On tip of my tongue
Song Dodgers’ organist plays
When Neuse is up
It’s about “The Noise”
But I can’t quite recall it
It’s very Eighties
Cum on Feel the Noize?
From 1973
Hair band covered it
Thanks so much for that
It was by “Quiet Riot”
Was driving me nuts
A glam rock classic
Slade did the original
What a crazee band
Don Powell, Jim Lea,
Dave Hill, and Noddy Holder
Wolv’rampton’s finest.
On that music type
I’m not a font of knowledge
Just vague memories
Every Thursday night
Required pre-teen viewing
“Top of the Pops”, loud
Decades later though
Jimmy Saville’s molesting
Hides in plainest sight
Pagan in to pitch
Pollock and Neuse homer
Back to back, game tied
Fair Emilio!
Shorn of curls, and curves, and stuff
Neuse first time dong
Oh man here’s Treinen
Speaking of ex-Athletics
They will decide this
rooting for the astros
the angels are terrible
it is dinnertime
improbable win
streaks and dials that can go
up to eleven
Spotted: one A’s hat
Current season of Top Chef
Has guy from Oakland
Out with a strained MCL
A true Athletic
Bravo!
Just caught up. LOL.
Feeding Vince and Ken
Lots of pub for Alamar
Foss must be jealous
Always lots of rain
When the A’s hit Baltimore
Looks like this time too
Wet Saturday night
Likely would cause postponement
Two games on Sunday?
Roster crunch coming
Fiers ready to come back
twenty-seventh guy?
Brewers at Wrigley
Brett starts, throws a few pitches
Trainer out, Brett leaves
It looked like Brett’s knee
Ex-A Josh Lindblom came in
Cubs 10, Brewers zip
Cubs radio ad
For a great vacation spot
It’s Pat Boone-worthy
“Catch Des Moines dot com
The S’s are Silent, the
City is Buzzing!”
Ice Cream and sslinger
Inspired return to whimsy
Thank you both so much
I have to concur
Despite the fact that I am
Not good at haiku(s?)
I am so impressed
At how much you krauters have
Embraced the whimsy
Will Shortz reads Free Kraut
elcroata would have done
a better version
