Tim Collins Poet I do not know?

A Chicago Cubs-Fan Prayer

A Chicago Cubs-Fan Prayer!
 In nomine patri et fili spiritu of Ron Santo
 Let us all give thanks for Ernie Banks
                       Let us play!
 Our Father, who art in Wrigley Field
 Hallowed be thy ivy covered Brick-house walls
 Thy new stadium will come, the owners will be done
 On the mound, sit ‘in with the bleacher-bums or your rich roof-top owner friends 
 Give us this day our daily dread but remove those lights that so offend
 Forgive us our trespasses and cubs left on bases
 As we forgive those teams who trespass those places
 And Caray us on and win the pennant races
 All’s we’re ask ‘in for Lord, is a couple a runs 
 Then deliver us a world series, before God loses HIS patience 
                                Amen!
