Baseball

To see the game, you have to plan
It takes some time you see
This is for all the die-hard fans
You'll need a strategy

To stand in line for baseball
Can be a timely task
You first must get the tickets
To clear your way to pass

Excitement now before the game
Which section are you in?
The dugout group or foul ball side
Row 5, seats 9 and 10

Concession stands are all around
Decide which should be first
Tee shirts and hats or hot dogs
You'll have to quench your thirst

Now don't forget the plans you made
Cause folks are filled with glee
You'll drink your beer, your coke and sprite
But then you'll have to pee

Another line to wait in
The porta potties blue
Don't get distracted from your plan
They'll jump in front of you

Oh Wow! Another "homer"
My team is going to win
Can't wait for seventh inning stretch
I have to pee again

Great game it was they played today
Our team is now the star
We're tired but we have to go
It's time to find the car

"You'll drink your beer, your coke and sprite But then you'll have to pee" - Consequences of deeds. A very beautifully written poem on baseball game organizing in a hilarious and, more or less, sarcastic way. Congratulations!

I hope this placed in the contest. iT IS REALLY CUTE! I have this problem at movies. Even if I go pee right before the movie, I still might end up having to go really bad an hour later. HOW I HATE THAT!!!
