Flying with the Blue Jays in Sky
Dome seats so high the players look
Like worms drawn out by summer rain,
You cheer your adopted home team and
Shoot me dirty looks for daring to
Root for the Red Sox, their symbol
Shining proudly on my breast; I
Can't forsake my Maritime training
For the sake of a visit but see
You've lived in Toronto too long.
