three strikes is out
four balls is a walk
are you ready to pitch?...

Said Connie Britton
unlike me, him there were very few batters who could hit on....

The puppies now are pitching fits,
their momma says just you quit,
there's no more suckling on my t*ts,
you'll be rehomed in a little bit.

Stuck Truck
Dr. James E. Martin
©January, 2014

My truck is stuck in the mud.
It bottomed out with a thud.
So here I sit,
Pitching a fit,
This trip was surely a dud!...

How many remember pitching horseshoes
Dating myself, remember when we schmoozed
Naughty that was
Today, no big fuss
Normal as pooping, it's no longer big news...

Proposing pure penalties
Rambling rancorous reveals
Opining odd occasions
Pitching putrid penance
Heralding heinous happenings
Evoking erroneous events
Teaching terrific tautology...

He is the best mate for me of course
Pitching in and doing extra
Always taking care of me
Driving me to work now
While I conserve strength
He's my hero
My husband
Soulmate
Friend...

Dragged multitude of boxes out yesterday.

Sorted them madly, pitching stuff willy-nilly.

My husband offered to take it all away.

Brought half back.  Trusting him was really silly....

The count is full; 
It's three and two.
The game depends
On what I can do. 

I might hit a home run-- 
How my rivals would howl!
The man on the mound keeps pitching,
But I keep knocking them foul....

So whatcha pitching?
A fit, I say.
Evoke a grin:
The slightest in?
No. Go away.

Slammed door or phone?
Smile anyway.
The angry tone –
It’s still ok.

The odds are good that soon
Stranger things will happen....

Black, endless eyes, the wind
Flapping. Pitching star to port, 
Anchored cradle.

Grappling, a hook and cries; 
treasures engulfing desires. 
Ransacking, a pillage, flames 
licking wood.

The bottle, no message; only
a Ship....

                sunshine in his dimple
                grandson pitching on God’s mound
                Bible keeps him sound

Two souls mixed in tunes,
Rippling chords in harmony,
Strumming the same song.

Rhythmic love notes,
Vibrating flames of passion,
In synced hearts of pair,

We sing vows of love,
Pitching notes of high and low,
Not to bounce off key....

Suffice it to say
Today is a fine sort of day
Unless you are out
In the field pitching hay!

Build your home on the river bank
and the river will fashion sticks
build it upon a mountain
and the mountain will make planks
place your bones amongst the stars
and they will giggle lightly
pitch a tent in heaven
and forever shine brightly....

God bless the counter tenor
King of Kings, Lord of Lords
Member of my divine Parliament
Halos abounding and sounding
Of Celestial bliss and perfectude.
\Pitching pulchritudinous pitches,
Pushing me to transcendence.
No God can touch this
Nor man bring down.
God bless the counter tenor...

Somethings are better
done to day – tomorrow
never comes

like mending fences
and pitching hay

meal on the table
and time to pray

grace in the morning
at the end of day

remind those special someones
just how much you love them

do it without delay

tomorrow never comes

walk to fame
singing my notes
as a virtuosic
applauded habitually

pitching new octaves
alto and tenor
our dulcet tunes
loudly echo

of seamless hearts
tickled to laughter
our guileless smile
wakes bliss

our empyrean dreams
hitherto slumbering still
to stay living
gains life...

Life's pitching me curves I don't deserve
It's getting on my nerves
I continue to look at the menu it serves
stuff I'm allergic to
I heard a tune on a boom box
that insured you rock
It says your lives amazin 
Life's what you make it
Well I don't take this to be true
because I didn't make it to be blue...

The Phillies are not scoring many runs.
They’re leaving runners on base.
Zeros are on the board.

Get it together.
Bad hitting and bad pitching
does not win you games.
Not many victories come
when you score three or less runs.

No postseason play
if you lose too many games.
Play like a winner.

The hull of the boat was full
Lying so close to each other
They used a tool
To clamp the irons on brother

Lying so close to each other
The stink in the hull was death
To clamp the irons on brother
The boat moving pitching beneath

Lying so close to each other
They used a tool
The stink in the hull was death
The hull of the boat was full...
