The game of baseball can sometimes be rough.
Teams often play competition that can be too tough.
Often, even a grand slam home run is not enough.
Last night, our team managed to tie the game.
However, the other guys scored a run in an extra frame.
We wound up losing the game in the tenth inning; what a shame!
That is what happens with an ineffective bullpen.
The boys will just have to get together tonight and start again.
An applaud in negative
In writing or voluble,
Appreciate one must
To further spring up,
A poetic grand slam !
Sarcastic comments
Take digs at you,
Aggressive remarks
The missiles,
To drop you dead !
Throwing a frisbee
Beyond reproach,
Reprimand,
Rebellion,
Give or do battle !
A censure,
Although Depreciates ,
Distresses and Disheartens,
Repel depression,
Essentiates introspection !
Be factualistic,
Don't divagate,
Be dianoetic,
Argue and analyse,
Put on a thinking cap !

Green eggs and ham I am
Denny's new Grand Slam
Egg whites wriggling like a clam
Yellow yokes oozing over the dam
Ham clods denser than Spam
Coated with a varnish of Pam
Gratuitous cholesterol by the gram
Down unthrottled hatch cram
If green terds your jaded colon jam
And amber waves of gout bloat each gam
To Dr Seus's gluteal factory scram
His stool abusing suppositories are a scam
But his rendering vises are no sham
So with leased enema your red ass ram
Till the ivy clumps ooze through your tram
five nil
great thrill
* a celtic rugby dream ....may the best team win....
a wicked forehand,
right on the baseline it lands –
perfect, Grand Slam!
