Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Batter Up

He stepped to the plate and spit on his han's.

   He spit doffing his cap to cheering fans.

      Gave his privates a scratch

         Spit another huge batch,

            Then knocked a home run clean outta the stan's!

MD Johnson May 17, 2015 at 6:54 PM Yes, there is a lot of spit (and scratching) in baseball. Enjoyed.

Ilene Bauer May 17, 2015 at 6:24 PM ha! you've nailed baseball players perfectly in this humorous poem, bob!

Lindsay Laurie May 17, 2015 at 6:05 PM G'day Robert... not familiar with baseball, but I dare say, as in cricket, a whack over the fence is the ultimate for a batter. Your limerick defines a cricketing batsman perfectly so I can relate to the batter - Lindsay Robert L. Hinshaw May 17, 2015 at 7:27 PM Likewise, Lindsay, I know very little about cricket but in baseball, the players spit and scratch a bunch - they go thru some very strange gyrations when they are at home plate to try and smack the ball! Have a grand week, old cobber and keep on writin' - bob h
