The Baseball Game Begins
A roar overtakes the crowd
Nervous pitcher takes the mound
Reverberations, noise so loud
Winding up, no one makes a sound
Baffled batter swings through the air
The ball smacks the catchers glove
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
