Baseball Nut

If your baseball nut is like mine, buy another TV set and put in your room.

My brother is a baseball nut,
When his team is playing he acts like King Tut.
He buys some gum for a player's card
To get that player's autograph, he works real hard.
He yells at the umpires on the TV set,
And when his team is losing, he breaks out in a sweat.
He memorizes batting averages
He complains about the trades
He has nightmares of a players' strike,
He thinks they are overpaid.
So what's an older sister to do
When she wants to watch her show
Buy season's tickets, front row for two
​And introduce him to your best friend, Mary Jo.



April is Poetry month. This was yesterday's poem (4-3-26). Late I know but the family 'baseball nut' had my laptop to look up the new MLB rules.
