On that one time date
The 23rd of May
Was duly proclaimed
Chase Utley Day
With the team offense
Boggled and dismayed
With junkball lefties
Putting them away
For 46 games
The pivots sway
Did not produce runs
Or brighten the day
Valdez had no range
Orr had no sparkling play
Martinez was glad
To be in the majors to stay
Utley's knee languished
By Clearwater bay
Preventing his debut
To be continually delayed
The fanbase rejoiced
Just as passionates may
On the news of his coming
He was heard to say
"3 runs or less?
That is absurd! I say.
This will not occur
On my return day."
Polanco joined in
Cole's outing was not gray
As a ten run barrage
Signaled the new way.
Hail the return! Hail!
The Phillies proclaimed
Good feelings all around
For it was Chase Utley Day
What can I say? I'm a hopeful fan these days....
