Summer Fun
I watch young boys and girls at play
Baseball is their choice this cool summer day
The ball hits the bat
With a loud ringing crack
The ball soars, it's going, going, gone
With a two run homer, the game seems won
Strikes one, two and three
It's the visitors last out you see
Now it's the home teams chance
The crowd seems to be in some sort of trance
It's four balls the first guy walks
As the next one steps up, no one dares to talk
Two strikes, then a ball
Then smack, the balls over the wall
Now with the scores the same
The home team has a chance to win the game
The next guy hits a line drive
It's up the next player to keep the game alive
Too bad, now it's raining
It looks like the home team won't be winning
But for those kids, it looks like that doesn't matter
I wish you could see the beaming smile on that last batter
