red-crested
slender bird,
pointy toe,
lands ‘n lifts,
wings aflappin’
devil’s in the dust,
clearin’
“Safe at Third”
all the mommas n’ the poppas
sing in their seats
heaps of harmony,
dash of dissonance,
grey feathers settle
‘n grins grow great
’cause the diamond
in our sky
gleams brilliance down,
n’ all ya gotta do
on this field
is give it your best try
