On opening day 2013 I wrote a poem About my beloved Pittsburgh Pirates It's called Pirates Fan That I am I lamented twenty years Of losing And shined in optimism That change was coming It's now August And the Buccos Are in first place Best record in baseball Gearing up for Playoffs in the fall After twenty years Of losing!!! There is hope For all losers Keep grinding it out One day you May find yourself In first place!!! For the moment We are Number one!!!
