It's about the ball,the bat,and the mitt.
Ball hits bat, or it hits mitt.Bat doesn't hit ball, bat meets it.
Ball bounces off bat, flies air, or thuds ground (dud)or it fits mitt.
Bat waits for ball to mate.Ball hates to take bat's bait.
Ball flirts, bat's late, don't keep the date.
Ball goes in(thwack) to mitt,and goes out(thwack) backto mitt.
Ball fits mitt, but not all the time.
Sometimes ball gets hit(pow) when bat meets it,and sails to a placewhere mitt
has to quit in disgrace.
That's about the bases loaded,about 40,000 fans exploded.
It's about the ball, the bat, the mitt, the bases and the fans.
It's done on a diamond,and for fun.
It's about home, and it's about run.
