Short Metropolitans Poems

As in many,many poems and novels 
Baseball is something that defines the American people 
Thinking of the season ahead
Realizing that I did not  watch my health carefully  when young 
Happy to make it to 63 
And happy to watch the New York Metropolitans in their quest 
for glory...

Friends with the great Hank G. 
Quite a good hitter himself 
Announced for the NY Metropolitans 
I support all the New York teams 
   The Amazings 
a team which 
   has won two championships 
Ralph Kiner 
Announcer - man who dated Liz Taylor 
 Man who has now gone to his rest

Here is an ode 
    directed at fans 
of the New York 
    Metropolitans 
They won yesterday 
 5 -1 and remain at the top of their division
    That is great! 
Have you not yet checked out 
   their box scores yet
but I will 
No students have 
   arrived here yet 
 in the ESL lab 
   where I sit awaiting them
   But I dream of those who 
attempt to 
make it into the "show"
    My hat's off to them...

Been a fan of the New York Metropolitans 
since the beginning
The early teams were hapless
Leading Casey S to ask
"Can anybody here play the game?"
This year they started out 10 and 1 - 
a record rarely matched in baseball 
New manager , new hopes
They managed to take the series in 1969 and 1986
so this season hopefully they can turn it around 
Teh best thing t be is a Mets fan 
Even though hey are sinking now 
I still support them 
And all the New York teams...

In the exhibition game today 
The Mets are battling the Yankees
I remember the early Mets
Kranepool and Hunt come to mind 
Baseball defines this country 
As it did in the movie "Field of Dreams"
I read in a men's magazine 
that a ballplayer made it into a prestigious poetry magazine 
The years come and go 
A new season starts 
Battle on O Mets 
for your fans are legion 
I'm sure readers out ther e
will
also 
write 
poems - possibly stories 
about the
New York Metropolitans...
