Ode to a Rivalry

The time has come
It’s here again
It just seems like
It never ends

Red Sox-Yanks
Yankees-Sox
Both sides have had
Their share of knocks

This rivalry
Is so intense
Most times it won’t
Make any sense

We don’t like them
They hate us back
Sentiment
It does not lack

Babe Ruth, B. Dent
2004
It’s history
Is full of lore

2005
It’s on again
Both teams have holes
But both can win

The Boston Team
Is full of pluck
And everyone knows
The Yankees... have the biggest payroll in baseball
