Frankly My Dear, We Have a Lot To Fear

Northerners are heading south Blue and Orange in an east coast bout Right now individuals who are sweet and peach Relaxing sunning on a Tampa Bay beach Not showing power To those folks on an island filled with skyscraping towers Still vacationing enjoying rays Hoping weekend forecast will say Weather fine for a three game set Everything on line for the brave Mr. Met As they deal with the Godly heat Running around diamonds sweating athletes who compete Only an internal memo is watching No one will see plays that are botching Due to health care departments Sterling message “stay in your apartments” As the marlins are being grilled Feeling the tartar sauce glazed using skill Whiz kids caught them in a net Sentencing them to a bad cold they will never forget A major run that as an error Put the national pastime in peril Since a fish out of water Cooked to order Presented as a nice dish Received after asking for a wish Those looking for a miracle like in sixty nine May want to contemplate their place and time Spent with objects made from twine Pitch it here It goes there Hit it anywhere Make sure it crosses the plate Doesn’t end up in another state Question debated 'will the batter take the bait?' To be on the top spot Acting hot Where decision makers take advantage on the floor During a Civil War Figuring out a contagious viral cure Projecting views Reading words that they choose History does tell Past military leaders did fall under a nasty deadly spell When General Lee was sick As a brick Blaming the bad luck on a Union army trick Down came the confederate flag Documented about it in a journalism rag Reflect while playing these lonely games Where the players only hear the announced names Remember the time on base Catcher could make their case Throwing a sphere to win the stealing race Offensive plan blown up in their face League sports are here for a reason Played every season A peaceful art Where discussions start And listened Bringing closure to an angry mission With clap hands An acknowledgement from the stands In attendance are locals called fans Playing a community role Observing the battle unfold But the difference that is told There is no death toll Let the cities come together Gloves sewn using leather This sports idea is better Over those hash tag violent anti-social letters That should be sent to the shredder
