If you live long enough
you will pay 750 electric bills
see 6,500 movies
own 33 different cars
sit through 4,000 red lights
drink 23,000 cokes
go to the bathroom 7,150 times
work over 10,000 hours
and, as a Chicago Cubs’ fan,
say “Wait until Next Year”
one million, four hundred and forty-four times.
THE POETRY OF THE GAME
