The poem below is by Daniel Thomas Moran, a Suffolk County Poet Laureate from Long Island, and friend and client of the firm, who recently purchased a home in the South End of Boston with his wife, Karen. Dan and Karen have become frequent visitors of Fenway Park (closet Sox fans) and fans of Boston, in general. I recently joked with Dan that he should pen a haiku about Fenway Park, to which Dan, a “New Yorker”, responded:
"Stripe-less in Boston"
Some in The Bronx,
Might think my head full of rocks,
To find me cheering hard for the Sox.
And I especially relish
That nice stroll through The Fenway
To choking to death in the traffic
On The Major Deegan Expressway.
Along with Big Poppi and Manny
It would be that much neater
To have shortstop being manned
By a guy who's named Jeter.
But the park is more nicer,
And the headaches more few,
If only they had some nice pinstripes too.
