Play Ball!

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES



Play Ball

Baseball doesn’t matter
It’s just a kid’s game
A pastime for old timers
Who have little time to pass
But a lot of time to spend

Baseball doesn’t matter
Let the kids play soccer
No expensive equipment
No bases no mask no gloves
Just a ball a field and two goals
Let them play stick ball
In open fields or on the streets

Let the multimillionaires who play
For glory adulation and treasure
Go home to count their money
And rest on their laurels

Baseball doesn’t matter
But when the call goes out again
I’ll be there in the stands leaning
Forward waiting patiently for the
Umpire’s proclamation:  Play ball!

We can’t go home again
But we can still dream
