Notes About The Poem

Remembering Felix the Cat,that wonderful,wonderful cat... and baseball.

Annoying Game

ANNOYING GAME

Annoying Game
Cheers
quite annoying
voices mutter
quiet chatter
huddled in confusion

Boring broadcasters
feigns excitement
children watching 
not so mellow drama

The curse preventing
Felix the cat's first act
more chatter accompanies 
horrible organ music.

Resounding cheers
Greeks speaks
plays called.
"he walks the bases "
on cleats.

Dinner is served
on T.V. trays
Uncle does not move
He sits on the throne 
commandeering black
and white screens
with rabbit ears.

I wait for the final cheers
Of the win, Yes, It’s over
or the Boo's for losers
Baseball, way to ruin
a child's summer.!

Vicki, Baseball does not ruin every child's summer, although I get your point in this interesting poem. Vicariously, some of us would have wanted to be on that screen. It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game that counts. Keep playing!
