There To Hit Homeruns Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

At bat...
I'm not thinking of just getting to first base.
I am there to give it my all.
Not just there to play ball,
For thrills.

At bat...
I'm not thinking of just getting to first base,
To stare at faces!
At bat...
I'm there to hit homeruns.
And that's that!
In any season...
I come prepared.

Whether or not I foul out.
I come prepared...
At bat...
To hit homeruns!

'And...
You're OUT! '

Well...
At least I do come prepared.
