Notes About The Poem

4/29/2025 for Acrostic Agility Poetry Contest sponsored by Oliver McKeithan

Boy

Boys must perfect their batting stroke. 
Once done, and they hit a home run, 
You'll find that yonder window broke.

Haha, I believe it or not, I only broke one window with a home run. It was our neighbor's kitchen window.

Lol. I hope it's not my window. I don't like baseball.
