First villanelle--ever!
In honor of Dan "Steinbog" Steinberg's new look, I was moved to compose my first villanelle ever!
The blust'ry winter winds are soon to go--
The Sports Bog can be plenty sure of that,
Since Daniel Steinberg's lost his old chapeau.
The weatherman might doubt--but what's he know?
A groundhog shadow? What's the use of that?
These blust'ry winter winds are soon to go!
The Almanac can guess, but never know;
The D.C. Sports Bog can do more than that,
Since Daniel Steinberg's lost his old chapeau.
So readers: wear your scarves, but just for show--
Let Hoop and Net give way to Glove and Bat
These blust'ry winter winds are soon to go!
The Bog today just wanted you to know
A jacket's fine, but please omit the hat:
Look: Daniel Steinberg's lost his old chapeau.
Call Danny Snyder up in his chateau!
He may be shiv'ring. We'll have none of that:
