The Daily Sonnet - by The Daily Sonnet

In Case Anyone Noticed That I Haven't Posted a Sonnet For a Few Days

October 3rd 2006 00:46
This will probably be the only post that I'm ever going to write here that doesn't contain a sonnet. I'm going to be very busy over the next few weeks looking for an apartment and setting up a site within a site that requires meeting strict deadlines. I might still be able to crank out the occasional sonnet if I had my own domain, but alas I do not and right now it's not quite worth the effort to write these for free.

Hopefully my lack of domain blog is due to Jon being on vacation and not a conviction of the powers that be that there is no way that I can continue writing a sonnet every day. It can be done, although it might be somewhat more accurate to call myself the almost daily sonnet or the more often than weekly sonnet but that doesn't sound too good.


Don't be afraid to catch up on what you may have missed while I am on this (hopefully) brief hiatus.

ok, ok, fine I'll write another sonnet right off the bat here


He was nobody when playing the game
Journeyman pitcher, easy to forget
Batters never thought that he was a threat
But his use of HGH brought him shame
Which in turn caused him to start naming names
One of those names is as big as they get
Not steroid big but the type who'd be let
In on his first chance to the Hall of Fame

It's a half sonnet, I guess. Jason Grimsley doesn't really deserve having a full sonnet written about him.
