5 The Futurity Stakes

Act I—Scene 5: Athletic Park—the muted roar of 20,000 western bank fans cheering. Curtain goes up to reveal Athletic Park and the twenty-thousand cheering spectators.

I dreamed last night I died and went to heaven
And by some chance I had got there just too late.
The reason was the Saints were at the football,
And Saint Peter had of course shut the gate.
