Ode to the Poor Pitcher Whose Name I’ll Never Know

He died too soon after the game
and now everybody will remember his name
as the guy who pitched his ass off
for the Angels in the outfield
catching his fly balls

It’s sad to be true
you never know when
the dark cloak will
come for you

so it would be better to be
ready for the one
whose name you’re more likely to say in vain
though He’d never use yours in that way
so maybe you’d better think before
saying all those things
and the dark cloak comes
to take you away
to the heavenly gate
where you might not get in

_this is for the Angel's pitcher that I just read about on Digg. Heaven Bless his family man. Tragedy.
