Baseball Dream

The Mets are on the radio
    They are behind
  It will take me a little time 
to unwind
   I have wandered 
     In Middle Earth, Barsoom and Chelm
Still to me baseball is the "coin of the realm"
      The nightime battle is here 
And no, I no longer drink beer 
    If you are not 
a player of the first rank
         You still have a good annoucer to thank
    The game is just starting
It's the fourth inning
       The game is about winning
