Sense Sonnet - Acher

Pujol Slump

Albert Pujol's April was tough.
No home run, no getting on base.
A new team in a new league - rough!
Not yet to be fans on his case.
But baseball can be a cruel game.
One year a player is the rage,
The next a whimper -  what's to blame?
All machines get rusty with age.
A 30 something player tiz
A model under scrutiny,
To be phased out in baseball biz.
A 40 something player - gee!

If "The Machine" should shed a tear,
Wipe with 24 mil a year.
