Playing ball on the lawn with family and friends <br />A gorgeous spring day without ends <br />A tennis ball, a bat, two pieces of wood and a brick <br />A make shift diamond, that worked pretty slick <br />A homer was over the pick-up and past the pine <br />My niece slams one right down the line <br />Josh gets hit in the gut <br />A big red welt. What bad luck <br />There were no winners we didn’t keep score <br />Just for the fun of it, who could ask for more? <br /> <br />5/25/11<br /><br />Rhonda Baker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/playing-ball-on-the-lawn/
