No Shakespeare in Baseball

 


there's no cryin'
in baseball ~ no Wee Willies 

they wear disguises
try makin' us believe
they're a-listers
them and their bamboo bats

call up the x-men 
mutants from the minors
launch fireworks and flyovers

batter up and just play ball!

  1. Now hang on, Helen. Last year was brutal but this year hope is in the air once again! Go, Cardinals! (And Tigers!) Nobody does Opening Day like the Cards.

    1. What do you get when you stuff a baseball, burgers, beer, popcorn, hot dogs and a grunge band into a pinata .. and hang it in your garage gallery? Smashing Pumpkins.

  4. "try makin' us believe
    they're a-listers" -- Them's fightin' words! And judging by Shay's response, fireworks are on the way alright. 😂
