A Met Fan's 'Night Before Christmas'

An off-season review... in poem:

'Twas the night before Christmas
and quiet in Flushing.
To renew season tickets
Met fans weren't rushing.

With new players a plenty,
the team's rivals slept sound.
But there's angst in Met Nation --
Omar's no where to be found!

Sure he signed Henry Blanco,
Cora's back in the fold.
But his focus should be on

those less washed up and old.

Forget John Lackey and Doc,
and Marquis' a no-go.
No more than a report,
linking the Mets to Pedro.

With several holes on offense
and no help on the farm,
I was about to lose heart,
when Omar landed an arm!

I dashed to my computer
when I heard the chatter.
Logged on to ESPN,
to see what was the matter.

And just what did the headline,
on the breaking news say?
"The Mets sign R.A. Dickey,"
and his 5.43 ERA.

Wake up, Mr. Minaya!
Before the good players are gone.
Or you'll get coal from St. Nick,
and the boot from Wilpon.
