Baseball Game


The following is a poetic rendition of Mel and I's first Rockies game:

They beat the Mets
7-1.
Back to back homers in the fifth.
Even the pitcher got two hits.

Beer consumption.
A throng of
Loud-mouthed drunks.

Ate a large hot dog with slaw.
Left the remains in the stands.
A bag of gummy bears defeated.

Want to chase a fly ball in the checkered grass.

An American Experience.
