Said Baseball: "Flee Hurricane Frances!"
"We'll watch how the stormfront advances,"
Replied Tampa Bay.
"We'd much rather stay.
And on Monday, we'll just take our chances."

Come Monday, the storm was still blowing.
That morning, no planes were yet going.
The Rays had to wait.
They arrived much too late.
"It's a forfeit!" the Yankees were crowing.

Said Tampa, "The weather's to blame.
If a ring's won with this, it's a shame."
Bud bought Tampa's story.
So sorry, Joe Torre,
You'll earn your wins playing the game.
