To October the Cubbies are cruising
But to homies the subject’s confusing
By fears we are daunted
For years we’ve been haunted
By knowing our club’s knack for losing.

“Big Shoulders and Heart”
For: The Chicago Cubs:
2016 N.L. Central Division Champions;
The Village Elliott: 9/15/16
I salute you, Chi Town’s Baby Bears,
Winds blow favorably, you’ve no cares;
But once the playoffs start,
Need “Big Shoulders and Heart,”
To answer long-sufferers’ prayers.
Nice!
