It's not the sport of kings or has a Stanley Cup at all –
In college all the scholarships are given to football.
Most games take longer than it took the Pyramids to build –
Those who play with chessmen are much smarter and more skilled.
Soccer has the glamour and badminton has the grace
And basketball is played at such a fascinating pace.
But who has not been awe-struck when the Dodgers (or the Twins)
After many losses start to bring in a few wins?
We holler and we gambol and we act out tribal lore
Over a prosaic and ephemeral baseball score.
