The Cubbies
A curse that lasts a century
Sounds like a fairy tale
But like those stories, at the end
Redemption does prevail.
The Cubbies* waited more than that –
100 years plus 8 –
To win this year’s World Series;
Now their fans can celebrate.
The team that they defeated
Has, like them, spent many years
(68 in fact) in hopes that
Their own bad luck disappears.
Though the Cubbies were the victors,
Well-deserving, I might add,
If the Indians** have 40 years to go,
That will be sad.
*Chicago Cubs **Cleveland Indians
