Roger. Over and Out

by Pastor/Poet Greg Asimakoupoulos

It's Clemens' time, oh my darling.
He's up on the hill.
Not the mound. I don't mean that one.
But where they pass bills.

While his trainer says he's lying,
Roger says he's not.
Says he never was injected.
(Or has he been caught?)

Roger, if it's true, it's over.
Don't throw us a curve.
Please come clean if you've been dirty.
Do you have the nerve?

But if you have never juiced up.
If you're innocent,
bean the ones that want your bacon.
Go ahead and vent.

Truth will always round the bases.
It alone comes home.
Cover-ups are thrown out sliding.
Liars die alone.
