Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

For a Little While

I was a catcher 
"for a little while"
I did alright 
The whole story 
is "for a little while"
   as day become night 
I have been a loyal fan 
of the NY Mets
So place your bets 
As last season they held first base 
"for a little while"
Things are not always what they seem to be 
Often they are not 
As the NY fans fill the stands 
Hoping for the best 
from their favorite team 
Too many innings full of zeros
So put out your popcorn 
and your beer 
For the Metropolitans are here !
Only "for a little while"
And a home game will make us smile
