The e-mail said
I had a discount
at Thompson’s Fame Factory
I decided to order
fifteen minutes of fame
I specified
a hundred mile-per-hour fastball
reflexes of a cat
two World Series rings
four Gold Glove trophies
plus a selection of
“I told you so” certificates
for my former wives
Whoops – it said
Thompson’s Frame Factory
But I remain
humble
THE POETRY OF THE GAME
