Take me Out To
Every year I’d get excited for April
not for National Poetry month, but
for Baseball!
My Mom loved watching her team
on the big television screen &
I loved watching any team play
with her.
Mom’s San Diego Padres
are really good this year;
she’s not going to get to see
any games.
I may not watch a single game
this year as I can’t hold back
my tears
because it was “ our thing “
and she’s not around anymore.
Well, at least there’s no song
to trigger me,...

Your husband was murdered by a fish
In July 2022, a Canadian man was killed by the fish he was trying to catch. The fish latched onto the fishing pole and fought ferociously for control of it. The man lost his balance, fell into the water & drowned. Police described the fish as "ordinary".

The Old Ball Game
Popcorn, Peanuts and Cracker Jacks
Time to learn numbers and names on backs
I remember the games that Dad took me to
I had my glove so I got a ball or two
The organ played
The people would clap
I wore my jersey
And my old ball cap
The sights and sounds
The vendor's food
It all came together
To create the mood
Extra innings
With a walk-off home run
Even the losses
Were part of the fun
So grab your hot dog
Have a coke or a beer
Root for your team
This might be their year
As you go through your...

This One's For Luck
Element: Sulfer
The Voodoo Connection
Deep in the Louisiana bayou, where Spanish moss draped like ghostly whispers and the air hummed with crickets and frogs, resided Mama Sulfur, the Voodoo Queen. Her stilt shack, a vibrant patchwork of charms, herbs, and gator skulls, pulsed with raw elemental energy.
Mama Sulfur wasn't your typical voodoo queen. Her magic blended ancient traditions with the bayou's wild heart. Her parchment skin shimmered with a faint yellow glow, a reminder of the sulfur that coursed through her veins. Her piercing eyes held...

Uecker
Many people are sad because he's no longer here.
Forty years ago, I watched him on Mr. Belvedere.
He played baseball and was a sportscaster as well.
Uecker became a success, he certainly did not fail.
If you're wondering if Bob was talented, the answer is yes.
It shouldn't come as a surprise to you that he was a success.
Uecker proved to the entire world that he could act.
He helped to make Mr. Belvedere a hit and that's a fact.

Eagle sails Above
Took over their house
Eagle fans stand tall and proud in the crowd push me a tush you can’t stop me
Flying a silver bird into Hollywood
Land on asphalt play on lab grown grass
Look across the stadium all I see is Kelly green
I can’t see Jack Nicholson in the front row
Stars scattered about not paying attention
To what is going on an Eagle sails above
As a Ram gets lost in the defense
Hurts me soo good
Hurts me soo good
Saquon is so good in Hollywood
Saquon is not...

Hand and Eye
My little guy has got the hand and eye
See a shape and put your hands in place
To receive what I’m delivering
As it’s coming in…depth perception kicks in
Two points on a map and intersect where you should be
He sees the ball and anticipates where
And what direction
The passing wind can have an effect
You have to put that into the equation
Split second decisions between hand and eye
When you hawk that ball and hunt it down
It ends up positive with clapping all around
Next thing you know you helped...
See a shape and put your hands in place

As it’s coming in…depth perception kicks in

Johnny Football
Johnny football
Don’t feel that tall
Terryville southeast of
San Antonio before Houston
Rubs his fingers money sign
Number 2 cuts through Alabama
Can’t keep up with this magician
Steps on Heisman stage
Trophy first time freshman
On nfl stage of drafting
Waiting for Manziels name to
Ring Goodell
Cleveland comes to the rescue
Still in the 1st round
Gunslinger no practice
Iverson in Texas
Living high life
With Drake and Lebron
Check into...

The Hunter
The Hunter
Run around trying to find the right spot
Nature steps up and i reset
But I’m breathing and I’m scheming
To find that place
To let my freedom fly
It might not come on my first or second trip
But I keep scheming and looking
To exploit the weakness that
I see before me
Still huntin for that right spot
I don’t need that much
To get it off and if I get it off
It’ll tickle the twine
Almost every time
It’ll tickle the twine
Almost every time
Even if it don’t…if it don’t ...
Run around trying to find the right spot
Nature steps up and i reset
But I’m breathing and I’m scheming
To find that place
To let my freedom fly
It might not come on my first or second trip
But I keep scheming and looking
To exploit the weakness that
I see before me
Still huntin for that right spot
I don’t need that much
To get it off and if I get it off
It’ll tickle the twine
Almost every time
It’ll tickle the twine
Almost every time
Even if it don’t…if it don’t ...

Red Wine and Money
Feel like the home team prevails
Perfect day to play two
Popcorn and pretzels
On
Bleachers scream home team
Grabbing some dogs and beer
Phone bet 200
Settle seat rooting for money
9th inning tied game
Buckner 1st base
Pitch in place
Man on third
Ball rolling down the line
Sets his feet
Glove almost down
Ghost ball through the 5 hole
Next day put down 20 wine and spirits
Green bottle in bag
Look down the green lens
See empty bottle
