Magglio’s Last Laugh

by James Finn Garner


When Kenny Williams told Maggs
To pack up his bags,
Hinting grit wasn’t one of his talents,


Kenny hadn’t the notion
That he’d set in motion
An era of Motown Magg-nificence.


Magglio got maligned
but later was signed
By Tiger whiz David Dombrowski.


Now he’s hitting like Gehrig,
While the White Sox are staring
over their shoulders, worried ’bout Kansas City.
