I haven’t watched so much baseball as I have this past week
This was just the wild card round, so it hasn’t reached its peak
Eight teams were competing to get to the next stage
Now that this round is over, we can turn the page
These games started in the afternoon and continued until late at night
They were all competitive and most teams put up quite a fight
I enjoyed most of them but our team wasn’t in the race
After those games it’s the “Yankees” that the “Blue Jays” will have to face
They play two games this weekend and another on Monday night
The “Blue Jays” I’m afraid are in for quite a fight
I know they are rested and the “Yankees” have already played three
Will they come out on top? We will have to wait and see
While this sport is winding down and we don’t know who will win
This coming Tuesday night is when the “NHL” season will begin
It just seems so soon for all of this to commence
Where did all the time go? It just doesn’t seem to make sense
I know the daylight hours have become shorter and I am still in denial
Here’s hoping that the cold weather will hold off for a while
I gave my lawn its final trim until the first of June
Hoping that the snow doesn’t come any time soon
I will take advantage of the weather every chance I get
I refuse to give in to the cold weather yet
I’m sure we have some more weeks of warm days in the sun
Still lots of days to get out and have some fun
I haven’t biked as much as the year before
I need to get out and make a point of doing more
The cool weather is the best time to get out and bike
Put on your helmet and ear buds to listen to tunes you like
As we do every year, we will all adjust to the cold
It’s time to take advantage, don’t put your plans on hold
Never mind making excuses, get out and about
Once winter arrives, we will be on the inside looking out
