Sweet

...a tribute to the Red Sox, and their 
   victory in the the 2004 world series...


Never saying die, their courage sorely tested,
they fought so valiantly to win one more;
seemingly defeated, they always battled back
till Damon put the Yankees on the floor.

With scarcely any time to blink or catch their breath,
the Cardiac Kids were destined for St. Lou
to play a franchise known for their ability
to win by stealing bases on you too.

It was never even close to being a contest,
pitching and hitting made the Red Birds crawl.
From Foulke to Millar for the final killing, 
the Red Sox are the champions of them all!
