he was the maple bar man
 it was all he could do
that and
watch the Oakland Athletics
but it was a losing season
 Across the bay
every seat was filled
even though the Brewers were in town
we had good seats
it was her birthday
 maybe I drank too much
maybe not
  I started rooting for the Brewers
because there were just too many damn Giants fans
fuck 'em
they were a boring unimaginative lot
and my buddy Dale
is from Milwaukee
