Have a Ball

Throw it, roll it,
  Bounce it, pass it
Dribble it, bobble it
  Kick it, toss it, miss it

Pitch it, hurl it
  Heave it, sling it
Fastball, slider
  Sinker, knuckler, curve

Underhand, sidearm
  Overhand, 3/4 arm
Whiffle ball, tennis ball
  Forehand, backhand, serve 

Baseball, basketball
  Football, volleyball
Golf ball, tennis ball
  Hardball, softball, swerve

Matters not what sport you do
  Or what result's deserved
Just go out and do your best
  And play the game with verve

Yes, I was sports-crazy till my early 20's: Baseball, basketball, football, volleyball, tennis, golf. Loved 'em all. Thanks for entering my (former) world. Best wishes, Gershon
