Phillies Game – June 20th

Twas the night of the game,

Anticipation was great,

The 65ers loaded the bus,

To see the Philllies fate,

50 strong and ready to leave at 5,

Out to Philly's Citizens Bank,

To see if the Phillies

Would shrink and tank,

The lady bus driver started the engine,

But the bus would not move,

Just like the Phillies,

It had lost its groove,

A sub bus arrived at 6:30 on the dot,

Got us to the stadium, right on the spot,

To sing the Star Spangled Banner,

In a very joyful manner,

A beautiful evening, and 10 innings went by,

A 1-1 tie, had each of us with this sigh,

"Would the Phillies win and make our day complete,

Or would they go down...to a miserable defeat?"

The answer came quickly, in inning eleven,

The Cardinals went out and quickly scored seven,

But looking back, we all sang out without fear,

"Things will get better, wait 'til next year!"
