First Pitch
Tonight I’ll watch the Yankees
On TV and I can’t wait,
Though the stands will sit there empty;
Loyal fans can’t congregate.
For me, the highlight’s sure to be
The first pitch, always tossed
By a person on whom such an honor
Won’t be seen as lost.
I’ve heard that POTUS* turned it down,
A movement many viewed
As self-preserving, since he would
Be obviously booed.
The final choice is quite a treat
For it is Dr. Fauci,
Who’ll make millions cheer while also
Making POTUS extra grouchy!
*President of the United States
