World Series ’24, Game 5

Yanks grab early lead
disaster strikes fifth inning
Dodgers triumphant

The fans in the stands said,
“This foul ball or your life!”
Mookie said, “I’m thinking”–
In the Bronx, best bring a knife.

The Tinseltown Team looking fab
The Bombers in line for the slab
Then a flick of the wrist
A storyline twist
And our hope for more games gets a jab.

Bottom third grand slam
Yanks take lead, hold on for win
Spike Lee seemed happy

O Captain! my Captain!
Our fearful trip is done,
The ship has sprung a thousand leaks,
The prize we sought is gone.

The end is near, the drums I hear,
The bleachers steadily clearing,
The faithful weep; in sight, a sweep,
Juan Soto disappearing.

But o, Boone! Boone! Boone!
Bring gallon jugs of wine,
For deep on deck my Captain lies,
Struck out, oh for nine.
