Ode to Jeter


Woe is Derek, Captain of the Ship,
He struggles mightily at the plate,
then goes and injures his hip.
The off-season riches he signed for
become part of the fans' ire.
And now Jose Reyes is the SS the Yankee fans desire.
His hitting remains, in a word, lean.
When will you do what is best for the team?
And drop yourself down to the bottom of the order,
Before father time and diminished skill exile you to the mansion on the water.
Where you can live out your days as a legend in pinstripe galore.
But will they only remember 2011 when you couldn't hit anymore?
