a sports poem

by Antwan Fields - Aries

swing and a miss, "strike three!" yells the ump
a home park like comiskey: referred to as a dump
the bulls win! why must all my teams
swallow the big one and choke on the cream?
money flying around like crazy,lets bet on the super bowl
lets let a homer fly away and hit a beanpole
yankees win, the yankees win, and it sickens me to my stomach to hear that phrase
who are the cub hall of famers? not one is willie mays
sports figures in retirement, barry said goodbye
to the game he improved on the fly
a barrage of boos upon the pitcher who gave up the dinger
the right winger getting a hell of a stinger
defensive tackles who fall on their prey
and its the QB who beats them anyway
and its wait till next year for my beloved cubbies
who along with the rest play like the'yve got bubbies
no remorse for the commish, holding his nose
its his fault the blackhawks and the sox got hosed
owners who won't spend the money, its too much to pay 
i can see the fans on waveland turning gray
the 10-yard fight is over and done
and as a chicago fan im not having fun
already im on speed dial, and it says
wait till next year, thats 35$ you have to pay
at least boston fans curiosity has been fed
by the time chicago gets named sports city of the year, ill
be dead
pretty convienent, isn't it
maybe i shouldn't go down with my ship into the pit
caught in the cookie jar? don't give a fuck
all my teams here in chicago suck.
