The Cheering Crowd
One feels so alive
at baseball games
You are a part
of something there
Something bigger
than yourself
As a Mets fan
I feel myself as
a piece in the urban puzzle
A member of the urban tribe
Joining in the
cheering for the
Metropolitans
helps the masses to release
their stress
which has been created
by urban life - even if last season the team
didn't fare well
last season
The loyal fans
stuck with them
till the end
Loyal fans such as myself
see the Mets
as the descendants
of the
New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers
a team all New Yorkers
can embrace wholly
A team you can yell yourself hoarse for
Through the cold winter
there are no green diamonds
to gaze upon
But we New Yorkers know
that the sound of "Play Ball" will
soon usher in
another 162 games
for the New York Metropolitans
Our hometown heroes
