High Fastball

Jerry Reynolds

 

The batter digs a solid ditch
Catcher decides on a pitch
Batter squares - strike three
High fastballs are such a bitch.

    Good write Jerry.

    I've no understanding whatever about baseball but I recognise a great shorty. Nice one Jerry.

      Thanks Michel. Pitcher throws a fastball about 100 miles per hour from 60 feet away up around your nipples. Makes a good metaphor.

      Fastballs are but such a bitch
      And even more when so poetically pitched

      Played many sports but never baseball.

      yup, so hard to time
      with all that lime
      life squirts
      in our mind's eye
      still, they say five - fruits
      a day, and so we too
      busily, squeeze away...
      another brilliant write Jerry, just sparked me into typing away my little scribble - of a reply, you have a gift for inspiring our creative 'juices'... (ahem, sorry I lack a cringe filter) lol

        Thanks L.B. You are a real kick in the head. Stay safe.
