 Ed Charles Waxes Poetic For Murph....

A Poem By Ed Charles
Time is the alpha and the omega of all things
A beginning, an ending, unto mortals it brings
The reason that turns Summers into Winters then Springs
The reason the clock ticks and the pendulum still swings
It's the reason that turns weeks into months then years
The reason that youth ceases when maturity appears
It's the start of a game, when the first pitch is in flight
It's Bob Murphy's fluent voice recapping the highlights
It's special moments shared, with family and friends
It's the joy we feel whenever the Mets win
It's hours spent toiling to pay monthly bills
It's rookies in the minors trying to sharpen their skills
But on this occasion, it's the end of the marvelous career
The retirement of a talent, so special and dear
The ceremonial good-byes to a legend of the game
That even time had to pause, in honor of his name
Bob Murphy you are the alpha and the omega of your domain
I wish I could restart the clock, for one more refrain
But time, the infamous bane to us all
Just won't reverse this damnable call
Thanks for the Memories
You are truly an Amazin' Met
