Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

The Game of Baseball Is Played On a Field

The grass is green on the field today.
                         Another baseball season is under way.
                        “Play ball” is what the umpires will say.


                    We all cheer for  “THE”  team of our choice.
                     It is a favorite  “GAME”  throughout the nation.
     The stands are composed  “OF " many a resounding voice.
                     We give our  “BASEBALL”  heroes a standing ovation. 
                  The month of April  “IS”  the beginning of the season.
Spring training games were  “PLAYED”  before the start.
          The teams are banking  “ON "  going all the way.
                  To make it through  “A”  long season, you’ve got to have heart. 
           Players, lets take the  “FIELD”  and play ball today.


  I gave this poem nine lines to signify the nine innings in a typical baseball game.

Robert Pettit December 30, 2011 at 10:43 PM I'm still not sure if that is what he is looking for with this contest. I had to read the rules several times.
