Sunny spring skies – bring ’em bright on,
Won’t be long now – til old winter’s gone,
No more dumb staring – out the stupid-wish window,
Or wasting more time – on an ancient Nintendo.
Baseball the game – will be back in H-town,
Generating each smile – and killing each frown,
With Carlos Correa – and Altuve too,
Our future looks bright – as the skies turn to blue.
So grab up your tickets – and crank up the car,
If you spring forty bucks – your park won’t be far,
But don’t leave today – or you’ll feel like a dunce,
‘Cause the season won’t start – for another two months.
Just hang in there, ‘Stros fans – our day will soon come,
And this year feels special – no settling for crumbs,
Rangers and Royals – the rest of you too,
Better watch out – we’re gunning for you!
