Though the games aren’t over,
The Reds are all done
Just three in the series
before the Phillies had won.

We wanted a pennent
for their excellent play
but for lots of reasons
things are better this way

At least…

We don’t need to schedule
the travel to ‘Nati.
The snubbing of Janish
can’t drive us batty.

The future is bright,
the dismantling delayed.
And Redsfest is only
two months away.

And though it is painful
when your tix you discard,
remember: at least
they beat out the Cards.
