Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

Reflections of An Aging Mets Fan

Been a fan of the New York Metropolitans 
since the beginning
The early teams were hapless
Leading Casey S to ask
"Can anybody here play the game?"
This year they started out 10 and 1 - 
a record rarely matched in baseball 
New manager , new hopes
They managed to take the series in 1969 and 1986
so this season hopefully they can turn it around 
Teh best thing t be is a Mets fan 
Even though hey are sinking now 
I still support them 
And all the New York teams

CayCay Godwin May 18, 2018 at 6:40 AM I admire that you stand by your team no matter what; so many fans are too fickle in my opinion to truly be called fans. I enjoyed all that you shared in the poem and truly hope that all your Met dreams sail over your dream boundaries. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Andrea Dietrich May 17, 2018 at 5:21 PM So what is difference between Yankees, Mets, Jets, etc. Are they different NY teams or am I getting some of them mixed up for NY teams?

Andrea Dietrich May 17, 2018 at 5:20 PM Hey maybe they will turn it around. I know nothing about ball teams, but for your sake , I hope they win!!
