The Pride of the Yankees
A villanelle about MLB's greatest franchise
In pinstripes, they stride, a mighty crew,
The Bronx Bombers, feared by all, it's true.
Their legacy, a tale forever new.
* * *
From Gehrig's pride to Judge's magic dew,
The Yankees' greatness echoes, a story or two.
In pinstripes, they stride, a mighty crew.
* * *
Ruth's called it, and the ball flies anew,
A-Rod's power, a swing that's seen it through.
Their legacy, a tale forever new.
* * *
Jeter's magic, a mound performance or few,
Giancarlo's clutch hits, a hero's due.
In pinstripes, they stride, a mighty crew.
* * *
From BB to Hal, the dynasty's built true,
The Yankees' pride, a story yet untold, anew.
Their legacy, a tale forever new.
* * *
One team, a century of pride, a name or two,
The Yankees reign, their legacy forever true.
In pinstripes, they stride, a mighty crew,
Their legacy, a tale forever new.
