Sense Sonnet - Steamer

$ign $eller

Called the king of hits, yes, Pete Rose,
Called lots of other names still too,
As baseball's "living legend" goes,
To sign his name for revenue.
He'll sign anything for a price -
Banishment reports or mug shots.
Promoters call him very nice,
As his famous name's sold and bought.
And Rose works hard to schmooze his crowd,
A gift of gab that serves him well.
He can't let silence get too loud.
Being forgotten would be hell.

Put Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame
For best in show selling his name.
