The Baseball Game Begins



A roar overtakes the crowd
Nervous pitcher takes the mound

Missing the ball, totally unaware
As a roar comes from above
Ferocious determined look
Pitchers unintimidated stare
From his failure unshook
With resilance, the batter begins to glare
The game is underway
Another way to spend a joyful day
