The pastime of America's about to yell "Play Ball!"
Their season is truncated and there's health rules up the wall.
No summer camp to speak of for the teams of MLB --
No doubt this season will be one for screwball history.
The Yankees and the Nationals will start the game in style
in Washington, with nobody in rows or on the aisle.
Dr. Fauci will be there, in hazmat suit to bask
in silence as he throws the season's first symbolic mask.
With cardboard cutouts looking on, the pitching's bound to stink.
The batting average will be low -- no theft of bases (. . . wink.)
If the game's anemic I don't know who will tune in;
even Victor Rojas might just sound like hollow tin.
Let's hope that at the end of day, as players leave the field,
the fans in distant domiciles will not have all congealed.
If big league games don't bring in lots of ample advertising,
they'll have to sell their diamonds and begin a mass downsizing!
