This is a down-on-your-luck story
Maybe you can relate to
sort of a one-step-forward-two-steps-back kind of tale.
You’re stuck in some out-of-the-way town
that no one’s ever heard of
And it’s not the first time you’ve been here.
But you keep playing ball, knowing
just about everyone’s been there at some point in their life.
Can’t close the sale, can’t catch a break, can’t buy a hit
Once in a while in different ballparks
Or on the bus driving through
some random one-road country town
You wonder
Will I ever make the Show?
THE POETRY OF THE GAME
