Poem
There isn't much difference in being a ROMANTIC, Than there is is watching the CUBS latest antics. You have to love life on some level, you see, To believe that the CUBS will not continue to go Pennant Free! So, deep down inside you summon all the love you have, Keeping it buried, except for being what you believe. I have always been a CUB FAN, sometimes in tears, As "Wait 'Til Next Year", has forever been in my ears. But I have followed this team thru thick and thin, Feeling the pain and bearing it with a grin. The ROMANTIC me sees them winning the Series one day, The CUB FAN in me knows that is far, far away. Their play has not been that extraordinary, So, it tends to make us CUB FANS more than wary. But then there are days when they flash-bang a team with hits, And slap leather on the ball when it gets close to their mitts. The big thing about CUB FANS is their "ROMANTIC" side, Our hearts are big, we love much, and have little to hide. There are those who scoff at our team's play, But ROMANTICally we know that will all change one day. Because the field they play on is one of the best, We continue to hope that the team does the rest. We are proud of our team but I've heard people laugh, Like husband and wife, only CUB FANS can give them the gaff. I wake each day during seasonal play, Wondering what my team will do that day. I look for big scores, no hitters, and more, Most of the time I get really sore. Not so much in a physical way, But the ROMANIC in me sure gets a play. The team will rock my foundations to the core, When I find out how they let the other guys score. So the emotional side of CUB FANS is real, And has to be charged anew each day with ROMANTIC zeal. That is why you'll see me write what I do, Whether it's about my team or my life too. I won't say it's easy being a CUB FAN in life, But the ROMANTIC in me helps to get thru the strife. Just remember that "hopeless" is not something you say, When talking about the CUBS, at least not facing my way. I know they haven't won a World Series since before most were alive, They haven't even been in it...since 1945. But we CUB FANS continue to hope and pray, That our team will again, be there one day. It's the ROMANTIC in me that says to you, As my veins run full of only CUBBIE blue. Smile, laugh, or think me crazy if you like, The ROMANTIC soul that governs the life of this CUB FAN will tell you to just "Take A Hike"!
