Long Ump Poems

Or should I say…the one that gave “Ol' Babe” his famous name?

to watch Trash Can Cats, versus Downtown Stray.

The coach he told the scout
And if we could get him 
to get it over the plate
He'd strike all the batters out
He can throw it really...

captivating our boyhood heroes
those same gloves flailing about
towards fly's we were supposed to catch

a glowing white ball with red thread
that begged to be rocketed into orbit
we dreamed of such heroics

When did conservatives start courting failure,
Buy into idea their logic is truth?
As the world watches they back stab each other
Just above lion devouring its youth!

Hating of others just leads to self-loathing
Excrement passed off as truth,...

No Extra Innings

Baseball games are won by keeping score,
But hold no interest for me any more.
I realized, when it became clear to me,
How like relationships the game can be.

The pitcher I knew threw devious curves,

But at over ninety miles an hour
A fast bowled cricket ball
Really has some striking power.
A longed for confrontation between
A superb bowler and a class batter.

Two teams are playing,
while one love we're sharing,
who cares who is up

Survey Of A Happy
life.

The question I was
asking:
The couple answered;
it's Good-Flavorful
and lasting.
It is fun and
uplifting
it's giving and
sacrificing
It is easy to

It is hushed kisses,
smooth caresses
gentle movements
that induce deep-
gutted moans
it is pillow talk
and long walks-
