Finally, opening day has arrived for both of our faves
Seemed a long time to wait since World Series days
It’s been a really long time for the Cubs out of competition
Diehard fans are getting tired of this annual repetition
Diehard fans are hoping they don’t die before the fact
The fact being the miracle of the Cubs staying intact
To not really reach the World Series, but to be the victor
Should this happen, the shock will set off the scale’s Richter
Sox and Cubs on a winning streak with no record of defeat
It may be April Fool’s Day but truth and reality meet
How long this reality lasts remains to be found
160+ games to go and maybe, just maybe – a championship comes round
