Cubs Power

*Snort*  I was soooo into baseball as a kid.  And, in honor of the Chicago Cubs doing so well this season, I'll torture you with this poem I wrote (and all the cheesy nickname I had for my faves back then).  Ryne Sandberg, Greg Maddux, Harry Caray, Steve Stone... ahhh, those were the days.  :)

~It's a beautiful day for a ball game, let's play two!

 

Cubs Power

4/15/89

The starting lineup

Has some punch

With Sandberg,

Law and Grace

Let’s not forget Damon

And, of course, not Andre

Pinstripe Maddux, pitches wit power

And sometimes gracefully

But with Prince Markie, Ryno

Shawon and Vance

He needn’t ever worry

His battery mate is the great

Number nine Damon Berryhill

To whom he has no equal

Besides that, the outfield’s loaded

With the leader of the army, Andre

Mitch and Jerome too

The Cubs have talent

The strength and the drive

They have their fans

And their good ol’ Wrigley

But most of all

They have Harry, Steve and Dewayne
