Drop Off The Key, Lee Poem by John F. McCullagh

Mister Lee has taken his talents

To the City of Brotherly Love.

He rejected both New York and Texas.

Neither Rangers nor the Yanks land his glove..



His lifetime won- loss line in Texas

suggests that he can’t take the heat.

And why go and pitch for the Yankees

When they are one team he can beat.



They say Yank fans spit on his missus

And if that is true t’was unwise.

It soured the Lees on the City-

now Cashman, that elf, sits and cries.



Joe Blanton gets seventeen million

Cliff lee’s paid about Twenty five

With Halliday Hamels and Oswalt

They’re the best pitching money can buy.





Pavano’s not really an option

And Greinke would just rock and cry

Andy Pettite yearns now to retire

Is it time to give Joba a try?
