PLAY BALL

This worlds a diamond, with the
bases laid,
And on it Lies great game of bal
is played.
The teams are Human Beings versus
Fate,
And Times the umpire watching by
the plate.
We're at the bat. Our purpose Ger
and Ger
To WELD Ambitions club and try to
score.
To try to solve the curve the pitcher
throws,
And lam the sphere where not a
fielder goes.
Some of us seem to bat with skill i'm
mense,
Knocking long honors Ger the deep
field fence
Others bunt infield hits, but wildly
race,
And beat the ball down to the primal
base.
Still others, though they strive their
best, no doubt,
Fan wildly at the air, and then
strike out;
Then seek the bench, downcast, with
visage drawn,
shamfaced, blue, ambi-
ton gonel
Or rage the umpire, growing like a
bear;
''You robber! That decision wasn't
fart"
That's not the game! Be not crouch
or gutter!
What though you're not straight
300 hitter?
You've got another chance. Stand to
the plate,
Grab tight your bat, get braced and
calmly wait!
Wait for a good one. Let the others
rip,
And when it. comes-now, Lam it
hard and zip
It's got to go! And so must you, old
mani
like for the base. Keep going-yes
you CAM
teal second! Good Now, easy-not
too gayi
'herei Get lead! A hit Now you're
away
ieep on! Don't stop! Don't lose the
dandy stidei
'ou've got to beat the trow-ini
Slide, nowi slidel
Iurrah! You did it, Score? OF course

nd now you'll win the game-no
doubt at all
