THE LONG, HOT SUMMER

THE BASEBALL SEASON IS HEATING UP,
WITH NO TEAM THROWING IN THE TOWEL.
THEY PLAY FOR THE TWO OUT RBI,
THAT FALLS FAIR INSTEAD OF FOUL.
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE , UP AND DOWN,
PITCHERS CHANGE SPEEDS TO BRING HOME THE HAM.
DOES THE CURVE BALL DROP OR HANG?
FOR THE STARTER , WHEN HE'S IN A JAM.
HITTERS LOVE WHEN PITCHERS GET BEHIND,
IT'S WHEN YOUR STROKE IS EASY TO PROVE.
HE POWERED IT OUT WITH A SPLENDID SWAT,
IT WAS THREE AND ONE , LE FRAPPEUR SE TROUVE.
DEFENSIVELY , YOU WANT A TWIN KILLING,
TO GET OUT , WHILE THE GOING IS GOOD.
THE TAILOR MADE GROUNDER HELPS OUT,
AGAINST A SLUGGER , WITH LOUISVILLE WOOD.
AUTUMN COLORS THE WORLD SERIES WAY,
THE BALLPLAYERS THINK OF MONEY AND CHAMPAGNE.
WILL IT BE A BALLPLAYER'S DREAM?
WITH A WORLD SERIES AND ALL TO GAIN.
