The Championship Game

The Championship Game

 

It was a game I’ll never forget

And we cheered all the runs they scored

The lead changed hands several times

And we were never bored

 

The starting pitchers went several innings

Though the batters got their hits

The game was tied several times

With each team a chance to win

 

The runners stole several bases

That put players in position

The manager signaled a hit-and-run

And the batter succeeded the mission

 

There were other hits for extra bases

Including a home run or two

Seeing the ball go high and long

Made the locals hiss and boo

 

The game went into the 10th inning

Where it finally ended

And I happily went to bed

Thankful my team could win it

 

We were all great champions

And the city celebrated

Each citizen felt the wonderful win

With many inebriated

 

Some thought of us as a dynasty

And the best of all time

Most had much less to say

With the current title just fine
