These are a Few of My Favorite Things

by Sandy Marshall

What’s your favorite food?
What’s your favorite color?
Who’s your favorite player?
Mine’s Tommy Herr.

Who’s from Pennsylvania?
Who likes to play Second?
Who’s an All Star?
I bet it’s Tom Herr.

Who passed the torch?
The pro baseball torch?
Following footsteps…
His Dad is Tom Herr.

Who’s a Cardinal, Met, Twin,
And a Philly for sure?
Who’s the Giant of All?
You know it’s Tom Herr!

Phillies Sweep Mets

by Jeffrey Felshman

All things slip away:
Family, friends, youth,
Beauty, love, truth,
The tide on a late summer day;
Status, position, power,
Money, security, home,
The best of intentions and least;
Strength, memory, reason,
Happiness, loneliness, life,
A seven-game lead in the National League East.
