It takes 222 days to write a novel
Three weeks to renew your passport
54 hours to digest food
Two hours for an eclipse to cross the US
An hour to walk four miles
12 minutes to boil an egg
You spend
13 hours a day sitting
17 minutes a day at red lights
Five minutes waiting for a Starbucks latte
And someone has the NERVE
To complain that it takes
Four minutes and 38 seconds
For the majors to put a ball in play
Well – get over it and enjoy the game
THE POETRY OF THE GAME
