How much time has passed
Two World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, The Cold War, Iraq, Afghanistan
Presidents from Roosevelt, the first one to Obama, to well we will leave that one alone
Stock Market crashes, men to the moon, computers and cell phones
Tragedies from the Titanic, the Hindenburg to 9-11
We have seen so much as a society over these past 108 years
The only thing unseen was a Cubs World Series Win
The outs come closer, the time is growing near
Will 108 be done or will it go to 109
Remembering my Uncle Earl sitting on his couch watching the Cubbies on WGN
Those lovable losers, names like Ernie Banks, Dave Kingman, Ryne Sandberg and so many more
Sometimes very close, but not just enough
For my friend Jim who bleeds Cubby blue
The time I think is now
End the curse of the goat and say an apology to Bartman
It is the year of the Cubs
Fly the “W” proudly
Unless they really screw it up over these last couple innings then, I guess just wait until next year.
Looks like they are going to give it up again
Heartbreak in the streets of Chicago, we will see
Do we stop at 108 or go on to 109
Cubs Win Cubs Win!!!!!
