My Pastimes

Twelve was the number Roger Staubach worn. Eight was the number Carl Yastrzemski wore. When they played I needed lots of popcorn Watching them play was something to adore They were yesterday’s players which I miss Today there is so much coverage to watch I watch sports instead of trading a kiss Its poetry and sports I’m out of scotch Baseball has always been my favorite Next comes football and then there’s basketball If the Red Sox are on in front I’ll sit I’ll watch all sports played with a ball Poetry and sports those are my pastimes I’m involved with them instead of hard crimes
