Its about
the ball,
the bat
and the mitt.
Ball hits
bat, or it
hits mitt.
Bat doesnt
hit ball bat
meets it.
Ball bounces
off bat, flies
air, or thuds
ground (dud)
or it
fits mitt.
Bat waits
for ball
to mate.
Ball hates
to take bats
bait. Ball
flirts, bats late,
dont keep the date.
Ball goes in
(thwack) to mitt,
and goes out,
(thwack) back to mitt.
Ball fits
mitt, bur
not all
the time.
Sometimes
ball gets hit
(pow) when bat
meets it,
and sails
to a place
where mitt
has to quit
in disgrace.
That's about
the bases loaded,
about 40,000
fans exploded.
Its about
the ball,
the bat,
the mitt,
the bases,
and the fans,
It's done on a
diamond, and for fun.
Its about home,
and its
about run.
