The news
about Paulson being drafted by the Twins is refreshing to say the least
A truck
driver for his father but his heat is a hundred mile an hour beast
Forget about
the image of baseball players as chaw chewing dumb jocks
Paulson
played for the Academy of Fine Arts but with an E.R.A. that would shock
Almost nine
that suggests his control he might need to tune
Or his pitching
career might come to an early ruin
One day
driving a truck, the other on the Prune Pickers mound
This is
truly the land where dreams abound
250 k as a
drafting bonus for him to sign with the Twins
Headed to
the Show; for the dreamers in us all let’s hope he piles up the wins.
