The Rains of Bronx-amere
And who are you, the proud Yank said,
that I must swing so low?
Only a bat of a different stroke,
that’s all the truth I know.
With a stroke of gold or a stroke of lead,
Big Papi still has pop,
And his eyes are keen and sharp, my lord,
as keen and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Bronx-amere,
But now the rains weep o’er his Stade,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o’er his Stade,
and not a soul to hear.
One more episode and a year to recover, my sweet summer children. Perhaps the Red Sox will help with the healing this season rather than harm, as they did in 2011 and 2012.
