The Grassy Green
by Elaine Carey → (All Poetry by Elaine Carey)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Who can be sad at a major league ball park?

 


The grassy green,


the cheering crowd

crack of bat

and music loud.

Vendors hawk popcorn or beer,

No sad faces here!

(at least, not early in the year)

Ex-presidents sit,

rock stars agree,

Great pitchers are

royalty

and for an evening

there's no blame

 nothing exists

but the game.
