BATTER UP

 The batter steps into the box
all ears are on the call
I take the plate
size her up; Smile
then release the ball
She watches as she steps
with no swing at all
the ump cries out STRIKE ONE!
my catcher returns our ball
STRIKE TWO! was a sly, inside, low
she had swung her bat way below
Smiling I deliver the fatal
STRIKE THREE!
the mighty blow
she swung too slow
they call me the smiling assassin
You know!!
all rounder, MVP, 30 years
I've played ball from age 8
step into the box and
I'll take you at the plate.
