ODE TO THE DOME!

Observation of the Day!

Baseball season is in full swing. This will be the next to last year for the Twins to play in the Metrodome. A new ball park is scheduled to open for the 2010 season, probably in a snowstorm. The Dome is the worst ball park I have ever been in. It is a football stadium, not a baseball stadium. Nobody really likes the place, but people forget the rich history the Dome; two World Series, Super Bowl and Final Fours, the largest crowds to ever witness an NBA game and countless other lesser events. The Vikings have a contract until 2011, and then who knows the fate of the bubble. I won't miss it, but it contributed to the history of sport in Minnesota.

Ode to the Dome

If baseball a metaphor for life,

Then what about the dome?

Plastic grass, plastics seats, under a teflon sky.

Baseball is a metaphor for life.

Have a nice day!

NEXT year is the last year for the Dome, the new stadium opens in 2010.

You can run your poem again next year.
