Cubs Victory

Another World Series 
  I lay down and watched 
as the Cubs 
won it in ten
   A victory after one hundred and eight years of frustration 
My hometown team - the Mets 
   didn't mention it this year 
   but I salute the Cubs of Chicago 
Carl Sandburg wrote of that metropolis and 
    wrote of baseball 
Thousands upon thousands 
    of fans 
in 
the 
stands 
  cry out 
for the their team
   After the struggle 
 I pick up a pen - write this ode
   about the field of dreams
