SHOWDOWN 1993

TWO HEAVYWEIGHTS TO SLUG IT OUT,
LIKE ALI-FRAZIER, THE BEST FOR YOU.
THE FOCUSED ON THIS MATCH,
THE KNICKS AND BULLS, ROUND TWO.
NOBODY PLAYS LIKE MICHAEL JORDAN,
IN THE UNIVERSE, ONE MICHAEL J.
EWING IS ALL THEY THOUGHT HE'D BE,
THE KNICKS AND BULLS, THE ULTIMATE PLAY.
SQUARING OFF FOR ALL THE MARBLES,
NEW YORK AND CHICAGO, SIZZLING HOT.
YET, THIS, ONLY A CONFERENCE TILT,
BASKETBALL HAD NO BETTER SHOT.
SCOTTIE AND HORACE ANCHOR THE BULLS,
THE KNICKER BOCKERS HAVE A STELLAR CAST.
THE NBA SHINES FOR ALL TO SEE,
ALL THAT'S FIT TO PRINT ON THE MAST.

ROYAL BLUE WITH A YANKEE HEART

WE BURY THE BEST AT AN EARLY AGE,
DICK HOWSER WAS AS ROYAL AS ANY KING.
HIS MAJESTY WAS WELCOMED ON ANY TEAM,
HIS QUALITY SHONE LIKE HIS WORLD SERIES RING.
NEVER-SAY-DIE WAS A METTLE OF THIS MAN,
DICK PLAYED ALL OUT FOR TWENTY-SEVEN.
IN BRONX PINSTRIPES OR ROYAL'S BLUE,
HOWSER WILL CLEAN UP, UP IN HEAVEN.
DICK EKCELLED IN THE INFIELD WITH HIS GLOVE,
THE ROYALS ALWAYS MADE THE DOUBLE PLAY.
TEACHING THE YOUNG AND INSPIRING THE VETS,
HOWSER WAS THE BEST ON ANY GIVEN DAY.
IN THE FAST LANE, DICK HAD THE SPEED,
TO MAKE IT FROM FIRST TO THIRD.
THOSE THAT KNOW DICK, FEEL A GREAT LOSS,
DICK DESERVES THE POETIC WORD.
