Horrible Poetry; Catch

Catch
by David "Horrible" Simpson


Here's your glove, I said
And you slept
And here's a ball, I said
And you slumbered
And I tucked them near you
And I dreamed of a catch.

Here's your glove, I said
And you smiled
And here's a ball, I said
And you smirked
And we walked to the lawn
And we had a good catch.

Where's your glove, I said
And you shrugged
And where's a ball, I said
And you snuffed
And I let you grow older
And I dreamed of a catch.

Here's your glove, he said
And I smiled
And here's a ball, he said
And I smirked
And I played with my grandson
And we had a good catch.

Life is a bit more beautiful when time is measured by the half inning rather than the half hour.

You might need to do an age check on Simpson if he's playing catch with his grandson ...

Alternate fourth stanza:

I dream of a catch, I sigh
And I shrug
And I wish for a catch, I sigh
And I snuff
And I walk to the lawn
And I wish for more time.
