I Can't Marry Mark Bellhorn!!!!

He'll need a shower and a shave today
a haircut, the boys in the big town
don't allow your curls to touch your collar.
He'll be branded a traitor
though he was shown the door
and he'll be booed when he returns
to Fenway.
So maybe I can't marry
a guy who wears pinstripes
and when I say YANKEES SUCK from now
on, I mean all save one.
Just as Tom Gordon will always
play for Boston
in the heart of Stephen King,
I'll keep a soft spot in my
heart for the strikeout king
who won Game One of the Series 2004.
I can't marry a Yankee,
but I'm not averse to carrying on
a covert affair.
