Thanksgiving Eve Poem

On Thanksgiving Eve we have reason to be thankful
Our Padres team improved with its embarrassingly low payroll
Even in the off-season they keep us entertained
By teasing a trade of Adrian for a player to be named

In Spring they played nearby rather than going to China
Isn't it weird that Moores ran off with a doctor of vagina?
Though the sale of the team threw us for a loop
We benefited from a bearded CEO and his mysterious ownership group

Jeff Moorad is bearded but no Rip Van Winkle
He brought us salvation in Tom Garfinkel
Thinking about it now we must say it was a great hire,
Except for that part about him hating the Friar.

The season was a tough for one tanned veteran
We hope one day he hits more baseballs than women
We traded a good pitcher while his fastball's still sinking
Chicago is also a good place for womanizing and drinking

We thank our long time readers and even the newbies
But we're especially thankful for Pad Squad Carrie's new boobies
She's too good for us now that she's foxy
I guess we'll have to settle for Pad Squad Andre and Loxie.

Thankfully we're rich with friends, because we're low on cash
If we were a baseball bat we'd be maple and broke instead of ash
Where did all the money go that this Padres Blog brings?
It's been spent on video games and stuffed in G-Strings.

Thanksgiving isn't just about Turkey and gravy
It's time to give thanks to our Marines and Navy.
They help to protect us and keep us safe in our streets
The Padres support them with nosebleed seats

There's my Thanksgiving Eve poem, not as good as Dex's
it's not fair to compare a Yugo with a Lexus.
To all those Padres fans I'd just like to say
"Next year be thankful for the new fans bused in from TJ"

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Nice.

Any poem that includes vagina, Rip Van Winkle, and a shout out to the military deserves a thumbs up.

"I'm a Padre at heart. Always gonna root for the Padres. Twenty-five years [with this organization], how can't you? Next year I'm gonna be rooting like a son-of-a-gun for these guys and for Blackie ... I'm gonna be rooting for the next general manager here, rooting for the city, the fans, everybody. I think a lot of San Diego." -Kevin Towers

You like vagina, too?

Wow, we are alike.

I don't like LIKE vagina.

But I don’t not like it.

I was just complementing jbox’s superb ability to use it in such a poetic manner.

This is weird.

This is what happens when I try to be funny.

I fall flat on my face and come off creepier than ’tec with something in his eye.

Yes, I do agree that jbox used vagina superbly. I also liked what he wrote.

On a side note, when did vagina come to mean many vaginas, all vaginas or vaginas in general? Was it always this way? For example, my brother would brag “I’ve had a lot of vagina in my day” when, in fact, what he’s trying to say is that he’s encountered lots of various vaginas. I know he’s not talking about one vagina in particular because it’s not true; he’s never had a lot of one vagina in his life since he’s the sort of bag-full-of-vagina-cleanser that just uses people with vaginas or, if you will, people with vagina. See? It’s confusing.

I will take credit for one edit

Originally, jbox had written “doctor of vaginas”, and I suggested he drop the s both because “doctor of vagina” sounded funnier and because it would rhyme better than China.

Well I had "vagina" originally

and then I changed it before I showed it to you, because I didn’t think you knew how the cool kids talk.

"I do agree that jbox used vagina superbly."

I’m sure he’s heard that before…

Thank you for waving at me.

Jbox,

I used to think we were different, but we share a love for rhyme.
I will write a poem tonight, after wine and baileys- when im prime.
Enjoy your time at the top, writing about boobies and your boyfriend Dex,
Tonight i’m thankful for Ruben Rivera, Quilvio Veras, and poetry techs.

Nice job

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and let’s hope this Thanksgiving Jed Hoyer isn’t at Curt Schillings house trying to get him out of retirement.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

[You see, I said “HAD” because as true San Diegans, we all should’ve already had our Thanksgiving breakfasts by now.]
