The Baseball Game
Topic : OptimismI passed a sand lot yesterday, Some kids were playing ball.
I strolled along the third base line
Within the fielders call.
Say, whats the score? I asked.
He yelled to beat the stuffing,
Theres no one out, the bases full,
Theyre winning forty-two to nothing!
Youre getting beat, arent you my friend?
And then in no time flat
He answered, No, sir, not as yet!
Our side hasnt been up to bat!
