Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose Poetry

baseball betty is a hands on woman

Baseball Betty asked her new boyfriend to help teach the little girl baseball.
She had no idea that Stanford had never been to a game.
He did not know how it was played.
He had never held a bat.
Or possibly one ball.

For an hour and a half Betty taught Veronica how to play baseball.
While Stanford read a book on how to play the game.
When he looked up, the lesson was over.
Veronica was gone, and so was Betty.
She never returned.
Knowing their relationship did not have a chance now.
She was a hands-on-woman.
He was a book learner.
