Short Baseball Game Poems

Trump supporter Roseann Barr

at a baseball game acted so bizarre.

She sang Star Spangled Banner in a screeching sound,

grabbed her crotch and then spit on the ground.

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'
    volunteered my perspicacious youngest son...

Don't know if you've noticed but life is like a baseball game
You start out as a rookie, then get through the middle frames
You start to notice the signs
It's the bottom of the ninth
Seems like a quick game but hope for extra innings remains...

Whether in a baseball game
Or in the span of life,
Interference often causes
Agita* or strife.

Even when one’s motives
May be innocent or pure,
A casual observer
Or an ump might not be sure.

So consequences will result
When someone interferes,
And sometimes the effects may last
For months or even years.

*indigestion; aggravation...

A Dream

I went to bed the other night
Had a dream – a dreadful fright
My brother, and my sister later
Ran into an alligator
Hid behind a purple frig
Glittery? I’d say a smig
Then came by a buffalo
At least it looked a little so
As other creatures went and came
They started up a baseball game
But when it came my turn to bat
I woke up thinking “what was that!”...

Rapid City, South Dakota 
I always like Fall best 
You can eat buttery pancakes 
From huge Ihop 
And Omelets 
And Toast 
And skillets 
And lots of Reese 
And Butterfingers 
And Twix
At the colorful gas station 
And listen to
Nice relaxing music 
On the hill
At the Mt. Rushmore 
And go to the Corn Palace with 
My friend Troy 
And go to the baseball game
And watch the sunset setting...

How much randy enjoys candy nobody knows
His gum gum gum 
He blows blows blows
To a pattern of drum drum drum

He feasts upon it at a baseball game,
In school,
In the hall of fame,
And in the pool

He drives around a bend
He hasn't had any gain
But in the end
His jaw is in pain

Gum is like a fist clobbering his mouth
It is a pink pain giver
So he moved way south
Which made him shiver...

Trump Cannot Be Duplicated

Trump without a doubt cannot be duplicated;
To own self and only him will he be dedicated;
Heard that his genes,
Were those of jelly beans;
Died when to much of himself he masticated.

Jim Horn

That is why he is such a colorful character.
Reagan even liked jelly beans. He would 
eat them when he was inb Boston and his 
bean had been baked from watching a 
baseball game....

unbelievable
     last ball game he’d ever see
          grand slam ball for dad








Took my dad to a Yankees vs Texas Rangers game
Grand slam home run  
to tie up the game
I caught the ball and gave it to my dad.  
He passed away before the next season started
That was the last game we ever saw together.
The only Major League game he ever saw.
It was a dream of his.
He was astatic when I caught the ball....

Nine,  the number of innings in a baseball game
If you're on cloud nine,  it's happiness you proclaim
Everything included means you want the whole nine yards

Nine judges on the supreme court act like retards
In nine months a baby emerges from the womb
A cat has nine lives is what we assume

If you're dressed to the nines, then  you're fine
 A standard work day will usually begin at nine
All entries in this contest must have nine lines...

A baseball game is fun to watch and cheer
For nine innings are spectators all geared
Pitchers and batters, runners and fielders
Excitement uncontained as umpires yell there
Batter up is the sound pitcher to the mound
The hindcatcher yells the batter Now!
As the batter swings the crack is heard
Foul ball is the umpires voice and final word
Two strikes and three balls while the batter eyes all
The pitch is thrown as the batter swings tall

The world will never be the same
And I don’t know if I
Could ever join a crowd again,
No matter when or why.

A subway car? A baseball game?
A concert or a show?
Museum? Airplane? Restaurant?
Not sure when I will go.

A wedding? Craft fair? Tennis match?
A river cruise? A mall?
I just can’t picture being packed
With people, not at all.

A zoo or playground, lake or beach
I hope I can reclaim
But maybe not, because the world
Will never be the same....

The Poet With No Soul


"I will run, when you are in pain,
After all, I have so much to gain!
To me, you are but a cutout photo
at a baseball game."

"You see I have zero compassion.
I am at the Soup for my own gain!
I don't care if you drown in the rain."

"I only write to get trophies for me!
I could care less about thee."

Words,indeed,are so dastardly cheap.
As they ignore a fellow Poet that weeps!

riddle in quatrains

I smell like a movie or baseball game and
I sound like a jerky, mini-jack hammer.
Salty or sweet; I taste better with butter
Stop! Don’t touch me, until the hot wears off. 
 
Focus your ears, before you smell me burning
Firecrackers will sound "off" in the microwave.
I can taste fancy like cheese or caramel 
I'm hard at first touch; but there’s magic in heat.
