Best Second Base Poems
MemoriesCome sit by the fire... let's reminisce
About this and that, about life and love
Watching a robin take its first flight
Or a squirrel scurrying up a tree
The sun coming out from behind the clouds
The gentle breeze blowing the leaves in fall
The gentle snow flakes softly falling...

Innocent TimesMy memory flashes back
to innocent times long since gone.
those hot nights parked at lover's lane
wolfman jack playing my favorite songs.
it seems like just yesterday
when Peggy Sue was by my side
I was hoping to get to second base
but she just wanted to go for a ride....

I Love You DadSo many things I want to tell you my Dad
But I choke up in tears feeling awfully sad,
I grew-up so fast since the day you died
Pledging urgently to do well as tears dried.
Don't recall listening to anything you said
Never took trash out, never made my...

I Am a Virgin SlammerI am a virgin slammer,
Let me get that over with,
So if I stammer and speak like a bludgeoning hammer,
Let the record be clear: I’m just trying to go with this.
So I won’t walk the walk or talk the talk,
I may even stain the sheets while...

Megan's Hit - the Baseball SonnetMEGANS HIT - the Baseball Sonnet
There on the deck, I took a practice swing
tormented in the possiblity--
then hope was dashed--I found no hope to bring
up to the plate, when Ump cried out, "Strike 3!"
I was the last to bat--in this last game--
just oh for three,...

Yogi Berra Song It Ain'T Over Til It's OverTHE YOGI BERRA SONG
IT AIN'T OVER 'TIL IT'S OVER
One run behind and I'm at bat, 2 are out,
I'll be damned if I don't get a hit.
I tell the catcher I'll be home in a while,
But he grins at me just for...

Bad Teacher - 80's StyleSome ooglay dweeb-o-rama after school
went and caught me mashing with my boy toy
(a stella stud, I kid you not -mad cool!)
Geek said, “He’s half your age!” I said, “No DOY!”
Before that tard could gag me out the door,
I told him, “Hey, step off and bag...

Sliding Head FirstThe first three pitches: just outside. Pitch four:
right at the knees - "Steerike!", the umpire calls.
I wait to get the pitch I'm hoping for…
The next toss: high and tight... a base on balls.
I take my lead. I check the signs and frown -
he throws, I...

Playing the Long GameThat girl keeps saying ‘no’
Each time I ask her out.
She gives no reason why,
Just turns and shuts me out.
I’m pretty sure she’s straight,
Not on the other team,
But I’m stuck on home plate
(if you know what I mean!).
Was it something that I said?
Maybe something that she...

Ty Cobb Baseball's PastOL'E TY COBB OF YESTER YEAR,
WAS A GENIUS IN SPIKES, OR SO I HEAR.
HE RAN THE BASES WITH A BURST OF SPEED.
LIKE ADRENALINE JUNKY IN TIME OF NEED.
STOLE SECOND BASE WITH HIS FOOT HELD HIGH.
A SERIOUS THREAT TO SPIKE ONES...

Limerick, Question MarkLimerick(question mark)
Jack asked Jill out on a date
Jill felt that with their names it was her fate
Jack splurged and took Jill to Dairy Queen
For his favorite chili-cheese-onion, foot long
Gaseousness Jack had not foreseen
Despite the crappy meal,
Jill enjoyed Jack's life lived with zeal
The couple started...
