Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

A Baseball Fan's Pipe Dream

It is rare when a woman is interested in a ball game.
However, your excuse for going is pretty lame.
There is not a single fact of baseball you know.
You could not tell Babe Ruth from Joe DiMaggio.
And that fact unfortunately is just the beginning.
Each part of the game is not a “quarter”, but an “inning”.

Chalk this one up as another hair brained scheme.
The goal you wish to attain is a pipe dream.
That is a concrete fact nobody can deny.
You wear expensive clothes hoping to catch their eye.
Many women would like to be a ball player’s honey.
After all, they do make an awful lot of money.
Here is something I have to point out that is true.
Not one of these players will be interested in you.

Poet Destroyer A January 8, 2012 at 9:43 PM well well! Robert, I love baseball. If i go to a game"it's for love of the game." Nothing lame;-) I once had a boyfriend (very cute) wink ;-) he played with the Aviators.. now known as the Hooks.. they played against the white sox's once and won. Dumped him long ago. I'm a Chicago Cubs,fan. I have pinstriped shirts, like a goalie & look mighty cute. U R pointing this out to another female. So I will keep my fingers crossed to one day witness a 5 base run hit, batter batter...xox..p.d.
