AT BAT

All resting on Lefty, a pair of shoulders
He steps up to the plate
Here's the pitch
Change up - outside
One and oh.

Hot glare of the sun
Outfield shadowing left
Fast ball down the middle
Strike called
One and one

Lefty crowds the plate
High and outside
Really chased that one
The call is one and two

Attendance good
Heat considered and reconsidered
Some runs, bats, errors

Fast ball inside corner
A swing and up it goes
Up and up and up
It's outta' here
Tell it goodbye

Cheers for Lefty, pair of shoulders
Doffs his hat on the way home

The loneliest teamwork
