Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Two Sides of Town

    In the baseball playoffs, the mighty Chicago Cubs went down
        Outscored 12 – 1, 'the sluggers' sneaked out of town

    On the other side of the city, the news was much better
        The once-awful Chicago White Sox advanced to the second round
    
    Most everyone thought the Sox would absorb another whipping
        Guess the south-siders forgot to read their press clippings
