How I ended up on second base
Don’t ask me to explain
It’s the top of the 10th and I’m standing
Like a bum at Division and Main
Like a live participation trophy
The double date found for a friend
Didn’t hit, bunt, walk or get plunked
Just appeared like a comic book villain
Why wait to decide this like always?
Give the bum’s rush to this tie game?
Because everyone loves extra innings
Except a VP who might be late for a plane.
