Poetry Day - Wintry Baseball

Baseball Baseball in November!
Baseball in November!
What has this world come to?
Baseball in November!

Is baseball in December next?
What about January? February?
How will they find the baseball
Among the piles of snow?

Groundballs will become impossible.
Flyballs will be lost in the white, white blizzard.
So will any ball landing in the white snow drifts.
Everything will become an inside-the-park homer.

And what about all those other sports played in winter?
Like football, hockey, basketball, curling, and more.
What activity won’t be competing with winter baseball?
Celebrity tiddlywinks, perhaps.
