You Can'T Make This Stuff Up

I watched a ballplayer
   wave 'Hi' to the 
cardboard cut-out fans
   propped up in the stands

At first I thought
   It's time to find
a new optometrist

Then I remembered
   This year
Everyone has
   20/20 vision

Great "insight" Gershon! You have so wonderfully captured the ironic humor of the 2020 baseball season! Understand one of the Chicago teams is doing well! Hope you are doing well - out of the park! All the best.

Thanks for the love on this one, Sam. Appreciated... And you're right: The Cubs are -- oops -- were doing well. They just snapped a four-game losing streak tonight, although they're still in first place in their division... The Sox are making some noise on the South Side, although they're only a game over .500 right now... We'll see what happens. Thanks, Gershon

Ha, ha! I love your sense of humor, Sigrid: 'Canned laughter' complements those cardboard cut-outs perfectly!' Meet you at the ballpark, but we'll have to bring our own food. I hear that the vendors all went on strike... :) gw
