LOL An *alphabetical* gloating, you talented and rabid sports enthusiast! I enjoyed this, and received a very clear picture of your devotion to the team throughout. What are you like when they lose? hehehe

    Oh, they are about to lose this series, I fear, and then I have a deal with amicus - I have to write an ode to the Yankees if they lose - he has to write an ode to the Phillies if my team wins. I SO do not want to write an ode to his team, but they're only one win away from taking it all away from us. What a sad, sad day that will be unless we rally and win three in a row! :-) You're a sweetie for looking this up! Brooke

Nice, kind of an exaggerated alphabet poem, huh? Nice. I really liked this one, and didn't have a problem with any words. YEAH! Although, I'm a Yankees fan.

    I had a British reader who didn't know "skunked." I have never had anything against the Yankees as many non-New Yorkers do - what's wrong with being such a great team with a great history? People are jealous, that's all. I like winners. :-) Thanks, Brooke

Adewpearl,

What a poem!! The sound plays with words, and the words themselves show your creativeness. You put them together like a master pro. A very effective read, it is.

Pat

Excellently written and you do have the right to brag about your team! I'm afraid I don't follow baseball or basketball much but hockey ........!!!!!!!!!

Well I'm probably going to hear about this review LOL all I can state is I hate baseball with a passion Now before you all throw bricks at me I spent so many days (years in fact full hot days of summer into the fall through wind rain and hail and lighting, you name it) at the ball fields when My kids played that I just can't stand to step foot even close to a field where it's being played or even sit long enough to watch a game on TV or elsewhere Maybe it was those horrible benches and the splinters I got Smile

    Did I lay it on a little thick, Jarls?? I tried restraint, really I did. I'm from Philly- people here have no restraint.
    Thanks so much for your great review/s. Did you read my pm about having problems finding your Psalms poem?? Brooke

LOL!!! All the cliches, the hype, the howling and ranting, the chides, and dripping adjectives, couldn't have pushed the point deeper than your ending line. Excellent!!! The Phillies should be proud of you, too.
