If Pedro had been a Yankee... the poem

If Pedro was a Yankee…

The times we would have had!

If Pedro was a Yankee…

Curt Schilling wan’t have bled.

If Pedro was a Yankee…

Old bygones would be gone!

If Pedro was a Yankee…

The Curse would still be on.

If Pedro was a Yankee…

We would have clinched in June.

If Pedro was a Yankee…

There’d be no Aaron Boone.

If Pedro was a Yankee…

Pavano’d be long gone.

If Pedro was a Yankee…

The Curse would still be on.

If Pedro was a Yankee…

We’d have gone undefeated.

If Pedro was a Yankee…

Don Zimmer would stay’d seated.

If Pedro was a Yankee…

Old George’s heart would soar,

If Pedro was a Yankee…

The Curse would live some more.

But Pedro played for Boston,

The Fates, they can be bitches.

Our players never knew him,
Except when dodging pitches.

Now Jeter’s in retirement,

And Mariano’s gone.

And A-Rod is our only Curse,

And that is... still on.
