Back to Bat

Poem Thumbnail

Two old geezers step up to bat– 
backed by armies ready for combat. 
One is baby-sat; the other’s a rat. 
An empty suit versus a plutocrat. 
 
Non-stop play-calling on every single TV.
It's a ballgame nobody wants to see.
Insults and names–absurd agony!
We’re in for a no-hitter in human dignity.
