Play Ball

w c

Play Ball

 

Elevated on the little mound

He stretched and strutted there around

With the ball in his hands

As he tried to take command

 

It was the first of the steps

Where the ball curved and leapt

To a hitter with his wood

In his stance and looking good

 

The umpires there called the plays

From strikes to balls to sliding safe

And announced “play ball” to the players

And the other umps and spectators

 

Coaches gave signs to the batters

While the other team made their chatter

With the understanding that with hits

The defense was out of position a bit

 

Fans really made the game

With empty stands not the same

With team owners understanding

Fans are good even when demanding

 

All-Star players got their votes

From the fans the admiring folks

And when the game was not played

It was a very boring day
