Outside my place on the Lower East Side
The rain is falling
I think the Mets are playing tonight and if
they are I will
watch those electric warriors battle
Someone gave me a T-Shirt
with an image of Ebbets Field on it
in NYC we have a canyon of heroes
and some of the contemporary players
will eventually be in it
Went to Citifield to see the Mets
battle the Padres the other day
It was Salute to Israel day!
Memories of Koufax
hanging in the air
in this city which never sleeps
a dashing ballpark
in the year 1913
drawn to atmosphere
10/2/2015
Now I see
that
World Series time
has arrived
Seems to me that something
is missing there
The NY Mets
aren't in it
As a fan from their inception
I remember Mr. Stengel and Art Shamsky(Another Jewish Ballplayer - great)
Kranepool - who never quite lived up to his potential
but made a stout try at first
Banner day - a lot of fun
Holding up a sparkle strewn "We love the Mets" sign
After Ebbets Field
After Shea Stadium
there is now Citifield
Where the New York Metropolitans will
will take over the green fields
Onward O Metropolitans
Your multitude of fans
await your entrance
As spring comes
around again
It brings the scent of flowers
and a thousand, thousand fans - a great multitude
Hoping and praying
for a victorious season
