Walk softly and carry a big stick...
Or walk hard and carry a small...

Dominic Venetucci - 1911-2004

Outside, snow gently fell upon the barren punkin patch.
Where happy children once romped was now a forlorn thatch.
Inside the aged' couple reminisced about happier times and shed a tear.

A baseball team hard to follow
Failures really tough to swallow
Many problems from stem to stern
Fans' frustration in a slow burn

facades taken from the ground you keep.
Most people on Minnesota Highway 23

Those beans were over fried.
A loser..A...

Where lefties are the norm.
The lefty side considered there,
Is standard for the form.

Lets say, someone, you go to meet,
And then extend a hand.

In all...

As a baseball team entity, 
in existence since 1883,
most seasons reeked with mediocrity.
Numerous generations living in Philly
have seen your teams play the game pitifully.
You have a dubious distinction of futility.
As the first franchise to lose...
