THE NUMBER EIGHTY-FOUR

by

Written after reading the Sports Section of

The New York Times for 09/09/1998 and 09/10/1998

and seeing no mentionreference to Josh Gipson

(For Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa)

The current number does not light my fire,

Although its heat has sparked so many flames.

The name is Gibson, man; it's not McGwire!

Folks still are quite confused; mixed up in names.

Now please don't get me wrong, for Mark has done

A booming job of batting at his game!

But, truth be told, he's so far from the sun!

There's still such racial ratting and such shame!

Do you believe that if those Negro guys

Had been accepted equal on the field,

Gibson could not blasted all those tries,

Leaving a record far from being repealed?

No matter that the blind still rule the day,

The number Eight-Four is here to stay!

Until someone blasts Eighty-Five away!

NEXT?
