Nectar for the Gods at Shea
Rent from DeepDyve- Nectar for the Gods at Shea
Don't apologize for wolfing down the world's worst wurst. Wash down the mustard taste with suds while the ball arcs perfectly, perfectly up into that blue field, like a great blue eye. No complaints about the seats up here in the nose-bleed section; we love watching ants making incredible catches on that green handkerchief below, as if we were gods and all this were for our pleasure.
