Ramping An Ragging Over a Game Delay

Ramping An Ragging Over A Game Delay

Ramping an ragging
    Ragging and ramping
        f#@~=%*!` ^& 8®?©
            Over a baseball game delay

You’ve been stewing and brewing
    What good is doing?
        It won’t stop the rain
            You’re only babbling to the wind

Let it register in your brain
    Quit your shenanigans
        Trying to get even
Will only get you breathing and
    Heart beating too fast

It’s not difficult
    Loosen up and act like an adult

I'm so annoyed
    Get over your obsession
        Quit your insane bellyaching!
There’s a hundred
    Other channels to choose from

Tim Ryerson August 11, 2015 at 5:53 AM BIG congrats Eve, but I'm guilty as charged here... However, this funny little gem has shown me what an idiot I must look like over ONE SINGLE baseball game? I much prefer football...No weather delays there unless it rains and my cable goes out...THEN line 3 of verse one? That and worse... Eve Roper August 11, 2015 at 8:22 AM Thank you, Tim; hubby just does it with everything when it's the worst is when he is driving and i have to listen to it because I can not get up and leave Hugs Eve
