A baseball player from the Giants
Turning out to be a drug dealer client
Has tested positive for testosterone
And in the news it has become known
The press has little sympathy
For players who are not drug free
So Melky’s not a Giant anymore
He is a casualty of the drug war
They said he can return to the game
If he gets clean he’ll regain his fame
The world is full of people who crack
And then make an amazing comeback
It takes a giant man to admit
He has a problem and he has to quit
THE POETRY OF THE GAME
