Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

You'Ve Found a Home In Dc

In Montreal, you had the “Expos” name, 
until the home attendance became lame.
The best athletes that were brought to play,
found spots on other teams and went away.
The squads you fielded for your fans to see,
fell into the quagmire of mediocrity.
In short time, you were losing money.
To continue operations, you could not stay.
You had to find another home city to play.

In the nation’s capital you would be
where two teams left in the same century.
For over thirty years, they had no team.
To bring baseball back was their biggest dream.
They welcomed with open arms when you came.
The “Washington Nationals” would be your new name.
You performed well in your first season there.
It was like being in fresh new air.
You will be playing your games amidst loud cheers.
Good luck to you in the upcoming years.
