Baseball Trilogy

By Mad Jack

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

{Farewell to Baseball} The season is over the last out's been made. We're looking for warmth instead of some shade. Why do they do it, where do they go, when those boys of summer bring an end to the show? Don't be forlorn, in a mood deep and dark, 'cause it's One, Two, Three months they're back at the Ol' Ball Park. {Waiting on Baseball} The movie it opened to critics raves, though I'd rather be watching my beloved Braves. The end of the movie was quite a shocker, but, not as much as the mouth of John Rocker. People didn't mind when the movie ran late, but, I said "It's Baseball for which I can't wait." {The Boys are Back in Town} The bats are out, the balls been pitched, the sun is warm, the winter clothes ditched. Outs are made and homeruns fly, the cold is gone we say: "GOOD Bye". It's here, it's back, no joke, no bummer, let's all welcome back the 'Boys of Summer'.February 2001, I wrote this sometime back but weather you have a favorite team or not, this is my tribute to summer.
