Manny manifesting abundance
as he hits his 496th homerun
manny being manny.
***************
manny needs to wear a diaper
manny being manny.
***************
Paplebom and his wheat colored hair
razoring my soul with his eyes
i can picture him throwing a frisbee
just with his eyes
manny being manny.
***************
Okajima moisturizing himself with energy
in the bullpen
the field looks dim
as he sizes himself up
manny being manny.
****************
Big Papi squints under the weight
of his slump
focus, focus
ask manny to share his secrets!
manny being manny.
*****************
Pitcher Benoit has fat rolls on the back of his neck
contrasting Jacoby's pointy knees.
quick start, great speed
the announcer's voices lull me into a magic space.
manny being manny.
