Seventh Inning Stretch

As the game goes on, from inning number one,

The crowd is noisy, all the while just having fun.

The teams that are on this field we see, that is made of grass and dirt,

With players moving to and fro, in this wonderful sports concert.

 

Each inning is played with hustle and desire,

Each ball must be caught, each batter they must retire.

As the game went past the sixth inning, and after that wonderful catch,

The crowd anticipated what was next:  The Seventh Inning Stretch!

 

A welcomed break from all the great action, a time to get some food,

A time to relax and sing a song, during this tradition interlude.

This magical moment ceases way too soon for me; I really hate to see it end.

But this game of baseball is, was, and always will be. . .my friend.
