My Name Is Steve Voorhees and I Am a Cubs Fan

To bow down in October submission
Leaving bitter taste through the winter
Clinging to the lofty dreams...

Taken place the night before
We greeted each other with

Wrigley Stretch
The smell of hot dogs, fresh grass, and stale beer
A constant dull drone from the Bleacher Bums
