MY BALLS ARE SAD

it's just so sad
 
it seems like it was just last weekend
 
that i was watching four baseball games
 
ahhh, the playoffs, the best time of the year
 
but now all that's gone
 
all that's left is the lob of an oblong ball
 
and a gang of giant black guys trying to stop it
 
or another gang of tall black guys shootin' a pumpkin into a peach basket
 
it's just not like the great game
 
all summer long, the sweet sounds of baseball have filled the air
 
now the long cold winter beckons with its rain and snow
 
and now with the turning back of time
 
we also lose one full hour
 
the playoffs are over and the red sox have brought their
 
city back another championship
 
there's no consoling a true baseball fan this time of year
 
there's not enough candy on halloween
 
or turkey and mashed potatoes on thanksgiving
 
and not even santa can bring us back to spring
 
only time will tell when it's time once again to play ball
 
 
and my balls will be happy once again
