The Rhyno

With apologies to Ogden Nash’s “The Rhinoceros”

The rhino is a homely beast.
Our Ryno was a home run beast.

For human eyes he’s not a feast.
For Cubbie fans he was a feast.

Farewell, farewell, you old rhinoceros.
Hello, hello, you stalwart Ryne Sandberg-us.

I’ll stare at something less prepoceros.
I’ll admire your likeness as a bronze iceberg-us.

Welcome to the HOF pantheon outside of Wrigley.
Along with Ernie, Billy, Ronnie, Harry, and Fergie.
