Trooper York म्हणाले...: To Be Alone
By Phil Rizzzto

Hey White
You know where your loyalties are?

Right here.
The old pinstripes.

No.

You never wore them
So you have a right to sing the blues.

Trooper York म्हणाले...: They Own The Wind
By Phil Rizzuto

i tell ya,
did you take notice of the flag?
i couldn't believe it.
just as jim rice came to the plate,
the wind started blowing to left field.
it not only helped yastrzemski's homer,
but it hurt jackson's,
the wind was blowing to right field
when jackson hit the fly ball,
when yaz hit the homer
the wind was blowing to left field,
kept it from going foul.
strike one to piniella.
somebody told me
the red sox control the elements up here
i didn't believe 'em until today

I was at the dog park and all of a sudden I felt a tremble in my pants.

I ran home, the rare clumbers couldn't keep up. I was holding my ass cheeks closed with one hand and them with the other.

On the way up on the elevator I was thinking of my mother but by the time the elevator had got to my floor I exploded. All over my buffalo jeans.

It was disgusting.; १२/११/०८, ६:०२ PM
