The man tried to catch a foul ball
But his body was too tall
The ball hit his ribs
Then hit his small Dibbs
Which bounces him into a wall...

The Stats show a Brooklyn Dodger
Scored RBIs with his todger
Then one day at bat
A Foul Ball went splat
And now he's Soprano Codger

Kids shout,
“School’s out!”

So soon,
it’s June.

July,
temp’s high.

Kids play
all day.

Ump’s call:
“Foul ball.”

Grass grows. 
Dad mows.

Sun’s hot.
Pool’s not.

Rest time, 
sublime

Mom’s made
Kool-Aid

Childhood,
so good

You say " I can't imagine how you get so bad, bro"
"Pocket aces aint all that bad, yo"
but when we're talkin' about aces
Yeah, I was dealt a good hand 
but all that flops are are straight faces
and I just ain't feelin' it, man

Sometimes I feel like a foul ball
That just looked like a fly
I'm all like "just pool yourself together"
You gotta keep livin'
Even when you're livin' a lie...

When did writing poetry become such a foul ball in my life?
When my surroundings and the people in it decided I couldn't
get rich writing it.
So, I put it away for a while and concluded that I had writer's block.
Plus, I didn't write much when I was homeless in Cali.
Because all my pens got stolen and my paper went to the wayside.
Or inside of me like a dog eats your school paper. Peace is
Continually Available....

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
