Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Chicago is a Sports Heroes Town

  
    We’ve got the teams
    We’ve got the steam
       We’ve got the coaches
     Hear our fans scream

     We’ve got the owners
     They’ve got the money
        (Sometimes they spend some)
      Though that’s no so funny

      But then there’s something I see
         sport after sport, year after year 
      Something I hate to admit --
         When the game’s on the line
            ~ Our heroes ALL play like sheet

His childhood was deeply affected by the 1969 Amazing Mets. My neighbor today is a big Bears fan. I hope their loyalty is rewarded in 2026.
