Ode to Scoring Just One Run

Instead of writing an original piece of HIGH STRANGENESS to satisfy your curiosity, I am sharing a most EDIFYING piece in praise of the one solitary run the Twins are allowed to score in most games. 4 out of 6 since last we talked.

 

Gather, ye ball fans

As I make all clear

The most mirthful joy

Of our ONE run cheer!

 

To score runs PLURAL

Cannot be much fun

Compared to sheer glee

From scoring just one!

 

Teams - not the Twins, no

They love the long ball

They hammer and drive

They score, one and all!

 

Bless’d fans of TC

How lucky are we?

To score just a run

And not two or three?

 

That one run, and how!

When we see it plate,

To bed we can go

Needn’t stay up late.

 

Our run! It’s our run!

It’s the only we get!

You must love the run!

When your teams plays not so very good.

 

⁃ The Bard Axel Kohagen

When one posts a poem it’s delightful to see
As long as that poem is not about me
But when it’s the Twins we say rhymes about
It’s worthy of claps, a good cheer and a shout

.

To celebrate the team that we all cheer for
The positive aspects you seek to explore
How sad it is that you mention one run
‘cause lately, my friend, it’s not been much fun

.

But thanks for the effort to find a good note
And cherish the one run, as you so nicely wrote
The future could bring a new challenge to you
The Twins might go out and maybe score two!
