The GOAT, I’m here to boost

Was out roaming around the other day

When I had an idea for a poem, ok?

Writing it sounded like a lot of fun 

So immediately I, back home run

 

That's exactly what the poem's about 

The GOAT, who are they? To find out

Each of their names, I had to scramble

Let's start, I'm through with the preamble 

 

He wore a uniform with number three

Babe Ruth = HR beau-t b

Make fun of him? You crazy? Wha??

Hank Aaron = A, rank on? Ha!

 

He don't cry, it's not his style

Willie Mays = Y wail? Smile!

Left him out, due to popular demand 

Barry Bonds = Sorry, b band

 

Him and others, I avoids

If it's shown they took steroids 

If it's true, it's such a shame

Take off their name from the Hall of Fame

 

Ok, now I'm through with my rant

Will I stay mad? No, I can't 

I'm looking at the calendar, there's no way

Only a few weeks until Opening Day!

This was a fun read — the way

This was a fun read — the way you flipped each legend’s name into a rhyme shows real creativity. It captures the spirit of the game and the joy of writing.
