The Boys in Blue: Vignettes

                   I.
 
Rangerland, I’m longing to hear you sing
About the great deeds of our boys in blue.
It’s never easy, I think you’ll agree,
To support them no matter what they do.
Rangerland, don’t give up on the boys yet.
Can we just hold on ‘til another fight?
Another day to make our way back from…
“The sky is falling! It’s falling tonight!”
 
 
                   II.
 
Here’s a toast to the boys in blue;
To the plans they made, they stayed so true.
No matter the cost
So the fans stay sauced
As they flushed the season down the loo.
 
 
                   III.
 
There once was a team from New York
Dreaming of a bottle to uncork
To drink from a chalice
In Lord Stanley's palace
Till those Bolts pulled a knife and a fork.
 
 
                   IV.
 
So when you think that our boys are through
When you feel there's nothing to do
You just pull up a seat
Watch the King on his feet
Come through for his young, brave boys in blue.
 
 
                   V.
 
There once was a hockeyman named Nash
Which the fans loved to trash and to bash
Then he went and scored two
They knew not what to do
‘Til in game 5 came the Rangers’ crash.
 
 
                   VI.
 
There once was a man named St. Louis
Who could score a goal on bended knee
Some will say he’s too old
To do anything bold
But in game 6, I hope that he’ll score three.
 
 
                   VII.
 
There's this hockey team that they call the Rangers
Which the fans follow, not knowing the dangers.
With heart attacks aplenty;
Their beer glasses all empty,
And superstitions are always game changers.
