A Summer Ouch



He was playing glorious baseball in the sun!
His family jewels got cup-checked scoring a home-run!
His mother let out a loud yell!
While to his knees, he so painfully, fell.

As a female, I'll not wonder whether to grimace as Gershon did but go straight to chuckling - what a fun read! Well written, too. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I can't decide whether to grimace or chuckle. I think perhaps both at the same time! And if you can make me do that, you've written quite a versatile poem. Brings back LOTS of memories ~ Ex Little League Coach in Chicago

And such pain wakes a person to one of life's hard knocks. I have had that epic painful hit delivered unto me in a couple fights in my youth! Strong verse well delivered...
