Premium Member Life's Old Ballgame

Aches and pains are part of the game When you reach old age, it just ain't the same Pains used to last a day Now take weeks to go away Hope you make it to the ninth in life's old ballgame

Premium Member Hugging a Stranger

Has this ever happened to you at a ballgame Your team hits a homer to win, the crowd goes insane Two male strangers Unaware of the dangers They sheepishly sit down, feel they need to explain
fun

Premium Member By Any Other Name

Hot dogs, wieners, tube steaks, or any other name, it's the traditional fare sold at any ballgame. This long pink sausage in an elongated soft bun is something that is a treat and a lot of fun. Dress it up with mustard, relish, onions, et cetera. Nothing's more popular in the United States of America. Inspired by a poem written by Gershon Wolf.

Premium Member Take Me Out To the Ballgame

Daddy, please take me out to the ball game
running the bleachers, enjoying the fame 
buy me some warm peanuts and crackerjacks
let the ball fly to the outfield with a whack!

Daddy, can I go play with my friends in the field?
There are lightning bugs, and they easily yield.
I want to chase and run and twirl and spin.
I don't care about baseball, the sport or the win!

Mow your lawn, swim in the pool!
This is the weekend for all of you.
Fly a kite, go jogging?
Have dinner in a romantic place.
Seventh Heaven!
Go to a ballgame, clean out your garage.
Above all, this is Lord's Day, either
Saturday or Sunday.
So it's more than OK to get off line and
Honor your sweetheart, husband or wife.
               Love, Panagiota

Let It In

It’s standing there before us
But goes unrecognized
For we don’t use our minds,
We only use our eyes

Invisible and quiet
It remains before us there
But daily chores and ballgame scores
Are all our minds ensnare.

If we would stop and study,
If we would just take pause
And use our minds, not our eyes
We'd embrace the cause

Then still standing there before us
As it’s often been
Is that Golden Opportunity,
Just stop … and let it in.

Ballgame

Imagine Chinese water torture. Anticipate
the carpet covered bed
of Fat’s truck
busy old fool, unruly sun
and you was such a baby
and I wished my friend as sound asleep
and you shall have some peace there, for peace
comes dripping slow,
Alive? You might be dead for all I know
not in silence, but restraint
for Christ’s sweet sake, shut up and watch the ballgame
you add to my afflictions, and amplify the same.
