Rained Out

It really is a rainy day.

The sky is just a solid grey.

My coach has phoned to let us know

my baseball game is not a go.

I’m really sad and this is why —

I felt inside I’d catch a fly.

I was sure that, most of all,

each time at bat, I’d hit the ball.

This was to be my greatest game.

Would be the one to bring me fame!

Everyone would be my fan.

The guys would tell me, “You’re the man!”

But now the rain has ruined it all,

and so today I can’t play ball,

yet baseball glory I’ll soon earn

cause how to play it, I’ll soon learn!
