Limerick Friday #591: Burning Down The Franchise -- Day 1,238


They spent and spent
But look where it all went
Welcome to the Mets
Now cool your jets
Sell everything and repent

Training camps open
And every team is hopin'
Close to the season
But scared beyond reason
Of injuries with which we'll be copin'

Quell all the strife
Wield the layoff knife
Complaints you'll field
As a human shield
'Tis a manager's life

A roll of the dice
To reverse an overpay vice 
Traded and dissed 'em
But having a farm system
Could actually be kinda nice

A quick trip to NYC
To see all we could see
Catch up with fam
And get on our Mets jam
The Big Apple and a bigger memory
