Play Ball

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Mommy Redhead
Daddy Longlegs
and Baby Billy
went to a ball game

Someone hit
a grand slam
 
You could hear
almost everyone cheer
 
Ten people
spilled their beer

Baby Billy
pointed to a bird

Someone stole third
 
The rally monkey
danced the bugaloo
 
Mommy Redhead
headed for the loo
 
Daddy Longlegs
danced with a kazoo
 
The home team won
10-2
 
The game ended
with a prayer
led by Someone
—the Most Valuable Player—
 
Everyone went home happy
(Almost everyone)

Baby Billy had
a mustard stain
on his bib

      ...At a minor league ballpark.

      This poem was inspired by a minor league team
      in Harrisonburg, Virginia and is dedicated to
      my friend VALERIE, the free ticket dispenser
      and health club owner
