Vin’s Last Game
no rat pack or elvis
just vin scully calling the dodger's game
and like kofuax's fastball, down the pike
vin's delivery is smooth as silk
in your transistor radio, in the vegas heat
leave the pyrotechnics to the other guys
you're thinking, he calls it like he sees it
and vin's voice follows you like an old friend
as crew cuts gave way to long hair down
to your ass and dylan and hendrix
and santana, you listened to vin's delivery
while doing volunteer work at glide church
in san francisco
vietnam was no place for you
but nobody wanted to go then!
you couldnt always keep your daughter
from the losers in the world
but vin's voice, calling hank aaron's 714
or kirk gibson's world series game winning home run
was like watching picasso create a masterpiece
now, youre winter, but the revolutionary fire still
burns, bernie sanders still convinces you
you can save the world
Vin scully's voice floats effortlessly like the boats
on the water
For Vin Scully and Paul Kleyman
