The third was both end and beginning,
It determined the losing and winning
.    For the Tigers, the plane
.    To the Rangers, champagne
All it took was one Texas-sized inning.

too bad ginger ale doesn’t rhyme with plane, eh… 😉
For the Rangers, champagne
For the Tigers, real pain
Is that what they drink instead of the real bubbly?
One team hit the trail
and one sprayed ginger ale
The power of one Nelson Cruz
Had Texas fans singing the blues.
Mr. …LCS,
We could call him, I guess,
Helped ensure the Rangers would lose.
The Editor asks: Ember, you mean Tigers, right?
Although my poor Bosox are dead
My colour for birdies is red
Some state with one star
Ain’t going so far
If only that Cruz stays in bed.
A thought:
The third both an end and beginning
And determined losing and winning
. For the Tigers the plane
. For the Rangers champagne
All it took was one Texas-size inning
