Let’s all give a hearty three cheers
For Toronto’s first berth in 23 years.
What was it like in that bygone age?
Steroids in baseball were not yet the rage.
Our phones were attached to our desks.
Melting ice caps did not pose a risk.
Bill Clinton had not been impeached,
And Saturn had yet to be reached.
Newt Gingrich somehow held power.
New York still had its Twin Towers.
But some things were the same long ago:
Bryce Harper still had a toddler’s ego.
