Baseball is a great pastime if you participate, Unfortunately we watch TV and simply vegetate
The players that you named have turned the sport into an art
With dash and dab they paint pictures setting them apart.
In their field not one of them could could you ever replace
But not a single one of them made it to first base.
Dear T O’C Jones, you’re an ace!
It’s true, painters work slow; they don’t race.
They’d do better to run
On the base paths: What fun!
(Some can’t even draw; they just trace.)
Thanks for commenting!
