I'd forgotten Bullwinkle's Corner. I actually went to the library and read some "Longfeller" as a result of watching that show. You are probably 20 years too young to remember MAD magazine. They too had great fun with some of our venerated poets, probably gone forever now.
All that comes to mind, 50+ years later now is:
"Tigers, tigers burning bright in the ball parks of the night your pitching's fair and fielding adroit. So why no pennants for Detroit?"
I've been looking for that as well. Here is what I remember, but I can't find it online:
Tigers, Tigers burning bright In the ballparks of the night You're pitching's fair, your fieldings adroit So why no pennants for Detroit?
You play around the big league parks with bats that barely give off sparks And then, while on high and sitting pretty You blow four games at Kansas City
That's all I remember. The last verse begins as the first one did. I thought it was hilarious at the time. Maybe that is why I remember it.
I was the audience.
