Kumbaya my Lord
my favorite prayer
when I was a boy
always eased my soul
in times of troubles

my love of sports

a fan of Yaz

left fielder
of Red Sox
many years

today
happy

who had become much grayer
which was hard to bare

ball thrown was last strike
heard after announced on mike
had to take a hike

after making probe
had an earring in each lobe
while wearing a robe

wages first meager
than became a big leaguer
with enormous figure...
