Ode to Kickball






Ode to Kickball



How we love you, big red ball.
Catching, kicking, ref's bad call.
Bunt down third or kick away
Run the bases, 'Out of the way!'

Line ups made the night before
 Changed four times going out the door.
Field positions changing, too.
  "Where do I play now?" "Just take 2."

  Songs playing loud during the game,
Jams and beats of rockin' fame.
Paparazzi snapping shots
Videos of action and tiny tots.

    Facebook score threads. Win, lose, tie?
Going to the bar now. Bye!
  Drinking, mingle, Wobble dance.
    Photos with Fagel, Bar Belt Champs!

    Throbbing Thursday comes too soon.
Try to get to work by noon.
Had a blast the night before.
     Don't think my liver can take much more!

     Who has my shirt? Where are my cleats?
 Why can't I find my cushion seats?
  Who has my chair I got from Dicks?
   I think that bag you found is Rick's.

Posts of upsets and boasts galore,
      Taunting, trash talking, mocking, and more.
Google doc updated again
On who had lost or had a win.

Blogs are written about the scenes
Bar Buzz, bets, and funny memes.
Podcasts talk of future and past
     And how teams gel, stack up and last.

Practice time! Meet at the field.
 By Bethel High. We can not yield!
We must get better. Again! Again!
  Let's get that trophy! Go for the win!

     WAKA Wednesdays, there are too few.
       The week is looong just waiting for you.
Oh how I love you, big red ball
Catching, kicking, ref's bad call...
