Things were different now,
very different,
these were no longer the days of cracker jack optimism,
no longer the days of cracker jacks,
or even the days of optimism
just records of poor decision making,
ethical conundrums that were clear to the rest of us,
questionable accomplishments that felt right in a fleeting moment,
and then wrong down the road,
and immoral over the horizon,
and again for the long haul,
when they all call your names,
and they asterisk your epitaphs because that is what you deserve,
we will all nod along with it,
because this is a sad day in Mudville,
and an even sadder day in Cooperstown
