Home, Home at The Game
By Bill McCurdy
Oh give time a home ~ where the buffalo roam,
Where our dear ~ and sweet memories ~ play.
Where seldom was heard ~ a tweet ~ ‘cept from birds,
And the landlines lay sleeping ~ all day!
Home! ~ Later home at ~ the Dome!
We still came ~ for baseball ~ first hand!
To scorecard the game ~ watch each pitch ~ frame to frame
Our hearts soared ~ this is why ~ many came!
Now we’re seeking ~ a home,
Where new rules are the comb,
For untangling baseball’s ~ great might,
With inglorious victories in sight!
It should be ~ SHOULD be ~ should BE! ~ SHOULD BE ~
Should be a vainglorious PLIGHT! ~ OUTTA SIGHT!
