Ump with scrub brush The Umpire

The Umpire has the awesome power
To send a grown man to the shower,
Yet cannot, in the aftermath,
Coerce his kids to take a bath.

Too

The park’s too small, the mound’s too low,
    The batters are too strong,
The balls too “juiced” (just watch them go!),
    And ballgames last too long.

Too many teams, too many players
    With mediocre skills,
Too many multimillionaires,
    Too many popping pills.

The tickets cost too much (I’ll say!)—
    As beer and hotdogs do.
You’re going to the game today?
    Wait up. I’m coming too.

To a Spider

Spider, Spider spinning tight
Webs to snare a fly in flight,
The Mets could use you out in right.
