A dreidel and some lumber

The Commissioner of Baseball just issued a threat

Sets our hearts aflutter
When the boys of summer
Battle to be champions of fall

He was playing glorious baseball in the sun!
His family jewels got cup-checked scoring a home-run!
His mother let out a loud yell!
While to his knees, he so painfully, fell.

Baseball seasons here
How many homers this year
I drive fourwheeler all day
I stay in the sun and bail hay
Hope I get some money
Then I'll buy some honey
Sit at the fire all night
hope mosqiutos don't bite.

Blank verse
|
In heat and dust
With rafters, bare,
My dormant past
Sits neatly stacked:
Those baseball cleats,
Texts obsolete,
Her wedding gown,
Their baby crib,
It all wrapped up
With dim gray light
And cherished in
My memory.

Memorial Day picnic by the lake, listening to the baseball game
Thanksgiving, an indoor feast, screen tuned to the football game
'I guess Thanksgiving is more important than Memorial Day'

Hula hoops and pedal pushers
Baseball cards and Slinkies
Penny loafers and bobby sox
Pony tails and a dime jukebox
Where are all the fads today --
But for video games we play --
Electronic devices all the rage
Hi-tech gadgets, center stage

This Week in Baseball
highlight of my youth
Saturday Mornings
were never the same
playing ball with friends
Summers were best
no more hassles
and longer sleep
the heat was hot
plenty pools
cool us down
Summer fun
under
the sun
fun

Its almost summer
A good time of year
Its getting hotter
School being out is near
A good time for baseball
When every body plays
Its fun for all
Hopefully are pitcher gets k's
We can ride four-wheelers
I can hit a bump
Hope it doesn't pop out of gears
Then hit a jump

I am so retarded in the area of sports. Sometimes it really does get me down.
It's so embarrassing not to know anything at all
about how to play ball,
and please don't think of me as a clown
but,
What excactly does a baseball player have to do
in order to
score themselves a touchdown?

long ago let the truth be told a summon to bargain baseball please...
triumphant please, down to my knees corporate sneak
shattered between what once known onto a perfect home,
Stained glass window through a verse Scottish dull ointment...
Temper left hotter then it is in Grenada
