Ego

(written in 1996 sometime)       
_______________

the guy came sliding home
he felt happiness unknown
not to him before
now he's scored
he's all aglow
run his fingers through his fro
and thought, "Oh man........"
he'd finally accomplished his plan
to score the winning run
to finally get his rock on
now its time to brag
give the gory details, the slag
he came chargin' in so fast
scoring, having a blast
describing how the dust flew
as he slid home.

now you tip the cup
to toast through the foam
from your beer
the guys give a cheer.
you smile and kick back
you know you got the knack
you've now done it all.....
