Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Baseball and Beer and a Beautiful Woman

Baseball and beer and a beautiful woman 

Baseball and beer 
and a beautiful woman
Tonight, such a 
wonderful date

Two teams are playing,
while one love we're sharing,
who cares who is up
at the plate

Her team gets a hit
and I can't help but smile, 
seeing the look
on her face

The batter starts running,
he hopes for a single
while I begin rounding
first base

Holding her tight,
as we kiss between pitches,
keeping an eye 
on the score

I slide into second,
my heart quickly beating
here with the one
I adore

"Stee-rike, you're out!"
I can hear the ump yelling,
the shortstop just went
down in three

I pull her in close
all the while I am thinking,
I'm glad he's not
yelling at me

Now to third base,
oh her skin soft and tender,
the infield, the lights
up above

I can see home,
as I lead off a little,
then dart in a sprint
to her love

Crossing home plate
is a magical feeling,
breathless the two
of us cheer

A beautiful woman,
an evening of baseball,
and let's not forget 
about beer
