Sometimes poetry is one word, like: “CRUUUUUUUUZ!”
Superstar
Twinkle, Twinkle, Super Star!
Each time you hit, the balls go far!
Wish you may! Wish you might!
Pass the test ~ that makes it right!

Day and Night (may be sung to the intro and chorus verse of “Night and Day”)
Like the tick, tick, tick of a time bomb,
As the big game shadows fall;
Like the cold sweat strain on the pitcher,
When his hope sails over the wall;
Like the splash, splash, splash of the rain drops,
On a ten-run enemy third;
It isn’t hard ~ to hear your pleading ~ to the rainbow bird:
“Come on, rain, ~ blot out the sun!
We’re down here ten to goose, – and that ain’t no fun!
If you’ll just do this for me ~ and save us from this infamy,
We’ll think of you – night and day!”

Frosty the ‘Roids Man
Frosty the ‘Roids Man – Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose – And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the ‘Roids Man – Is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow – But we all now know – How he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in – That needle that they found
For when they shot it in his butt – He began to dance around
Frosty the ‘Roids Man – Was alive as he could be
And the experts say – He could pitch and play – Way beyond poor you and me
Frosty the ‘Roids Man – Knew the news was hot that day
So he said let’s run – And we’ll have some fun – Right before I melt away
Down to his lawyer – With a vial in his hand
Talking here and there – All around what’s fair – Saying “catch me if you can”
He led us down the streets of town – Right to the Balco shop
And he only paused a moment when – He heard them holler “Cop”
Frosty the ‘Roids Man – Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye – Saying ” Don’t you cry – I’ll be in The Hall some day”

Have a nice laid back Sunday, everybody!
