The World Serious
The Giants won the Series;
I didn’t really care.
The team I root for (Yankees)
This year didn’t make it there.
But always this reminds me
When my son was very young,
He referred to this finale
With a kid’s slip of the tongue.
He called it “The World Serious,”
Not meaning to be slick;
With all the hype surrounding it,
We’ve let that label stick.
And so we watched the Royals lose
Despite a rousing fight.
They sure looked serious to me,
The proof my son was right!
