Michael E. Harris Poet Epic

Nolan Ryan K-King

THEY SAY YOU ARE THE K-KING 
I DON'T BELIEVE A WORD 
SOMEONE SAID YOUR FASTBALL 
WAS THE BEST HE EVER HEARD 
THEY SAY YOU HAVE A FASTBALL 
THE FASTEST OF THEM ALL 
SHOW ME YOUR BEST FASTBALL 
I'LL DRIVE IT OFF THE WALL 
THEY SAY YOU HAVE A NASTY CURVE 
ENOUGH TO BACK'EM DOWN 
SHOW ME YOUR BEST NASTY CURVE 
I'LL TAKE THAT PITCH DOWN-TOWN 
THEY SAY YOU HAVE A CHANGE-UP 
THAT LEAVES THEM WAY OUT FRONT 
SHOW ME YOUR BEST CHANGE-UP 
I'LL TEACH YOU HOW TO BUNT 
THEN I STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE 
I HEARD THE UMP CALL STRIKE 
I DUG IN JUST A LITTLE MORE 
THAT CURVEBALL TOOK A BITE 
I WAITED ON THAT CHANGE-UP 
YET  SURE ENOUGH THEY'RE RIGHT 
I TURNED AROUND TO FACE THE UMP 
HE JUST SMILED AND SAID GOOD NITE 
I BELIEVE YOU ARE THE K-KING 
YOU'RE THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN 
YOU DESERVE TO BE BASEBALL'S 
ALL-TIME STRIKE OUT KING

Michael E. Harris
