An Ogden Nash Early Blink
On The Future of Jose Altuve
Humbly Offered, By Bill McCurdy
Jeff and Scott – their wounds forgot
Sat down to talk – Altuve
Jeff bid small – and Scott smiled tall
As things did not start – groovy
“Oh, don’t you see – he’s Houston’s heart
The guy that fires our engine?”
“Oh, don’t you see – he’s much too smart
To buy that home town binging!”
Late this year – with outcomes near
Perhaps they’ll find – firm reason
As Jose makes clear – the point of his spear
Is it heart – or most dough per season?

Jose, can you see
By the dawn’s early light,
How dark it would be,
If you should take flight?

Nice work, Tom, and ouch! – It plays so well, but – just the thought of it – it hurts so bad.
