Ny Mets Blues

Now I see 
    that 
World Series time 
  has arrived 
Seems to me that something 
   is missing there
      The NY Mets 
aren't in it 
   As a fan from their inception 
I remember Mr. Stengel and Art Shamsky(Another Jewish Ballplayer - great)
       Kranepool - who never quite lived up to his potential 
but made a stout try at first 
Banner day - a lot of fun 
Holding up a sparkle strewn "We love the Mets" sign 
After Ebbets Field 
    After Shea Stadium 
there is now Citifield
       Where the New York Metropolitans will 
will take over the green fields 
Onward O Metropolitans 
Your multitude of fans 
    await your entrance 
As spring comes 
     around again 
It brings the scent of flowers 
   and a thousand, thousand fans - a great multitude 
 Hoping and praying 
    for a victorious season
