Little League

He looked so darned small at the plate
For the pitch he just couldn't wait
Got a high fast ball
He swung for the wall
You'r out! But to mom he did great!


For the Favorite Sport contest....

So cute, LNC. Mothers are always proud of their children's athletic efforts, even if they miss the ball. Your poem made me laugh, dear. I need to call you. Love, Carolyn

Reads like a winner to me..Those children are so cute playing..Reads like a winner to me..Your presence at my work brought me a ray not a stingray but a sun ray on this cloudy rainy Georgia morn..Sara

Ahhh, this is darling!! I really enjoyed when my son did this so long ago. He was their best catcher but he couldn't bat worth a darn!

I could just see Tatum O'Neal and her teammates while I read this nice little limerick. It looks like a good one.
