First Pitch

Tonight I’ll watch the Yankees

On TV and I can’t wait,

Though the stands will sit there empty;

Loyal fans can’t congregate.

For me, the highlight’s sure to be

The first pitch, always tossed

By a person on whom such an honor

Won’t be seen as lost.

I’ve heard that POTUS* turned it down,

A movement many viewed

As self-preserving, since he would

Be obviously booed.

The final choice is quite a treat

For it is Dr. Fauci,

Who’ll make millions cheer while also

Making POTUS extra grouchy!

*President of the United States
