THE QUEST FOR... a Limerick

I was driving around Houston today at about 3 p.m. when I heard Charlie Pallilo on Sports Talk 790 put out a request for Astros-themed limericks. I always enjoy a good poetry challenge and it was nice to get out of my QUEST FOR 3000 SYLLABLES haiku rut for a bit. By the time I made it home at 6, I had my limerick to send to Mr. Pallilo. Thanks to Charlie for reading it on the air. He did a nice interpretation of my work.

Here it is:

The season is so bad it seems
That the present is parked in obscene
But I can't help but smile
When I think of young Lyles
And the future, 2013??

I did include a note in my email to Pallilo that I am confident Lyles will be contributing before 2013, although the over-all rebuilding will take that long.
