Baseball

A Poem by Ben Campbell
"

My thoughts about baseball.........

"

Baseball is simple.

You hit a ball with a stick.

And run.

Then some people with one giant hand

Try to catch the ball.

I don’t know why they want it

So badly.

But if the ball is dirty,

If it landed on the ground.

They don’t want it!

And they throw it to someone else!

The only one who wants it then,

Is the guy in the middle.

But he only wants it

To throw it at

Another guy with a stick.

But if the guy with the stick

Doesn’t hit the ball,

Another guy with a giant hand

Catches it

And throws it back to the guy in the middle!

Over and over and over again.

It’s like they’re not communicating well.

“You take it!”

“No you take it!”

If the guy with the stick

Lets them do this too long.

An escaped convict throws them out.

And someone else

Takes the stick.

And tries again.

Baseball is complicated.

XDD that's funny btw =3
I loved those lines: Try to catch the ball.
I don’t know why they want it
So badly.
But if the ball is dirty,
If it landed on the ground.
They don’t want it!
And they throw it to someone else!
this is so creative and humorous ._.
Great work!

Hi, I'm Ben. Obviously. I have only started writing seriously recently, but what I have written people have told me is really good. But it's fine if you don't think so. Constructive criticism is alway.. more..
