Through the knothole in the fence I saw
The boys of summer playing ball,
On the field of green I watched them play
In scorching sun or skies of gray.
Life went on while I was there
Content I was to sit and stare,
Frozen in time the game went on
This was my world ‘til I went home.
Through the knothole in the fence I saw
A world not meant for all to see,
I knew them all, those players there
They ran, they hit, they swung, “strike three”.
Three hours a day I’d view my world
Through the knothole in the fence,
Weeks turned to months, they’d soon be gone
The leaves turned gold, the field of green was brown.
My childhood was spent behind that fence
It’s been twenty years my last game since,
I went by to see my friend, the fence
But it was gone five years hence.
Where I use to spend my afternoons
There in its place I’m sad to say,
A parking lot now sets serene
And gone forever, the field of green.

I just read your 'Open Letter to Roger Clemens.' You're just doing what so many others have and are doing. You have heard him accused so much you think you have a right to accuse him as well. Where is the substantive evidence from which to accuse him? Where is the substantive evidence to treat him as guilty? All you did in that open letter was pile on! Bring some substantive evidence next time.

Hey Jamie,
ReplyDeleteDon't know why you posted this comment here instead of BR but that's neither here nor over there. Did you not know that they found Roger's DNA on those needles that Brian stuck him in the ass with? That, my good man, is compelling evidence as far as i am concerned. You must really be a Roger fan to stick up for him this late in the debaucle.
Thanks for commenting. I wish you well.
