Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

The Yankee Game

I watched the Yankee game until
I couldn't stay awake
(Though flipping back to C.S.I.,
A habit I can't break).

So when I heard that they had won
It wasn't a surprise,
'Cause they were in the lead around
The time I closed my eyes.

I felt for all the Cleveland fans
Who witnessed their team lose.
It's hard to swallow that defeat 
At home, despite the booze.

But now there are more games to watch 
So I can root, root, root.
When your team plays, it's much more fun -
Of that, there's no dispute.
