Bless the ones who try each day
or sometimes for a lark
wind up put the bottle down
then smash it out the park.
Batting in the ninth position
tenth is on the bench, still
the ball comes in for him
and out there is the fence.
Baby on at second
mother coaches third
and the series clincher
this one is for the world!
Swing and miss take a sign
there's a ball! Outsider.
Bless the player tries again
the next one high and tighter.
All the outfield playing in
joking with each other
all the pitches curving round
but a few are hotter.
Then center fielder hears a ping
looks up sees a bother
or a bird, da plane
a bee
a bottle of his mother.
Seems to want to keep on rising
headed for the store
refund needed feed the baby
home again Dad owns.
Saving fifty bucks a week
batting clean up now
daughter scoring lots of runs
having winner fun.
Hey! Nobody's perfect!
Still striking out a lot
but, occasionally
he catches one
and puts it out the park.
