Ya Gotta Believe

William Krubsack
    
To root for the Cubs is to test one's faith,
     For at times they've played with the worst.

And yet, there were moments of saving grace,
     As it went from Banks to Baker to first.
   
A team in contention draws fans to the park,
     From as far a-field as Wauwatosa.

At times, the lures were those sultans of swat,
     Mighty sluggers like Sandberg and Sosa.
    
To win the title would ruin it all,
     As their home would become a house without love.

Moving the franchise simply cannot be done,
     For Chicago fits the Cubs like a glove.
