REMEMBERING THE SHOWDOWN IN THE DOME
Dear Editor:
With Spring Training here, can the sweet thud of the Blue Jays’ bats in the Dome be far behind?
THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS WENT TO PHILLY
FAR AWAY FROM HOME AND DOME
TO TRY TO BEAT THE GRUNGIES SILLY
AND BRING THE SERIES ‘ TROPHY HOME
GAME FOUR IS ONE WE’LL ALL REMEMBER
FOR A BINGO SCORE AND FLAKY PLAYS
BUT IN THE END THE GRUBBY- PHILLIES
LOST OUT TO THE CLEAN- CUT JAYS
THE SERIES SHUTTLED BACK AND FORTH
THE JAYS WERE UP, THE JAYS WERE DOWN
THEN A SHOWDOWN IN THE DOME
TO CHASE THE BADDIES OUT OF TOWN
FROM PHILLY CAME A MIGHTY GROAN
AS THEY WATCHED THEIR BUMBLING-FATS
IN TORONTO’S FAMOUS DOME
FALL BEFORE THE BLUE JAY BATS
YOU’LL NEVER FEEL SO HIGH, WHILE SOBER
THAN WHEN THE CHEERING SHOOK THE DOME
THAT GREAT NIGHT IN LATE OCTOBER
WHEN THE BLUE JAYS BROUGHT THAT TROPHY HOME
THE JAYS HAVE WON THE SERIES TWICE
AND WE’RE ALL AGREED THAT’S QUITE A FEAT
BUT THE JAYS‘ FANS KEEP THEIE FINGERS CROSSED
FOR THAT GLORIOUS DAY WHEN THEY “THREE-PEAT!�
