Ignore me if you will, I've tried. I think the thinkers may be wrong About this thing free agency, Hardball being better since Curt Flood And who are the owners anyway To tell us where our interests lie As if some overbearing deity Got jealous of the lesser gods, Or even me, with my Great Pleasure in the flesh, Disputing life and destiny, Not waiting on a starry crown When thorns will make a fitting laurel.
