Bob McKenty writes lots of great light verse about sports.

from the anthology Kiss and Part:

Derrière Pensée

Jets star Mark Gastineau and actress Brigitte Nielsen announced yesterday there were engaged--and confirmed they have each other's name [sic] tattooed on their posteriors.
--New York Post, August 13, 1988


That Brigitte worships Gastineau
You need but read her astineau.

But when they have a fight next week
I bet she'll turn the other cheek.

from Fair Game: Open Season on Baseball:

The Third-Base Coach

His loins are girt; his teeth are grit;
His jock itch he'll conceal.
(He knows that if he scratches it
He'll start a double steal.)
