Strange Victory, Strange Defeat

David Berman

"In other words, don't flinch, don't foul, and hit the line hard"

Squirrels imported from Connecticut
Just in time for fall
How much fun is a lot more fun?
Not much fun at all

What's with all the handsome grandsons
In these rock band magazines?
What have they done with the fat ones?
The bald and the goateed?

Strange victory
Strange victory
Strange victory
Strange defeat

Tale is told of a band of squirrels
Who lived in defiance of defeat
They woke up in a nightmare world
Of craven mediocrity

They said, "We're coming out of the black patch
We're coming out of the pocket
We're calling into question
Such virtue gone to seed"

Strange victory

Strange victory
Strange defeat
