No Dice
Yankees couldn’t pull it off
Although, of course, they tried.
It may take time until our
Disappointment will subside.
The Tigers played a better game;
Their pitching reigned supreme.
Yet watching all those chances blown
Just made me want to scream.
If A-Rod only got a hit
One time, with bases loaded,
The fans, at home and in the stands,
Would likely have exploded.
We would have felt amazing joy
And pride and downright glee;
Unfortunately, this time ‘round
That end was not to be.
Oh well – next year we’ll try again.
Our loyalty runs deep;
But meantime, we can all catch up
On some much-needed sleep!
