Baseball

The national pastime is played
by boys who aren't quite men.
Pampered, pouty, peevish
whenever they don't win.

Baseball is this honored game
on a diamond played.
Businessmen in kneehigh suits
all sporting this charade.

Testosterone runs rampant
their jocks supporting it.
Acting cool and strutty
then pausing for a spit.

Nine innings of pure boredom
of chaws, curses and spits.
Chubby umps and batter slumps
and childish coniption fits.

Babe Ruth and Dimaggio
probably couldn't watch.
These Michael Jackson wannabees
playing with their crotch.

Don't waste your time watching
a self absorbed bat swinger.
Sophisticate your viewing
by watching Jerry Springer.

Tell my husband, Mr. Ebay, the baseball card wizard and he'll probably agree, but he's making $!
I like the ones my kids play in! Smiles!
Love and Peace~

Rusty, this is a gooun' And, too much right, on the mark. There was a time when baseball was loved... much like racing sooped up cars, today. But, money and booze and money and girls and money got in the way. Baseball's players are like any other entertainers who are vastly over paid and over rated. Deliver me to the sand lots and little leagues. At least, there, the players aren't bothered with that there testy-toast-a-roane... yet! Still your Fan - Bill

Well can't say I love baseball, but Jerry Springer. God Lord, I had tiffs with my wife over him and I threatened her with breaking the TV if he ever disgraced my sitting room again. Victor

A 'poonie on baseball! I love how you do these -- I especially love the lines: " ... Testosterone runs rampant, their jocks supporting it." Excellent imagery there! Well done, Rusty-friend.
Loveya,
CJ
