This is a most excellent and brilliant poem as entry to this contest or by itself. It is clever and the baseball picture is very effective as well. Excellent.

Thanks for the review. Sorry for the late reply.
Comment from DonandVicki
I get more of the idea this is much more than just about sports. I get the feeling of someone who has had several strikes against him or her and the third is unacceptable.

Correct. It is not about sports that was just a metaphor. Thanks for reviewing.

Interesting. I don't know much about this game but I do know that across the board more and more players in games of all sorts seem to think that it is OK to dispute the umpire's or referee's decision - and they do so belligerently and with bad grace. A poor example to young fans and bad sportsmanship.

Thanks, Tony. The artwork just kind of played into the metaphor.
Comment from Gloria ....
Author, this is a fine, fine minute poem. I love every word of it, and your smooth flow of words in iambic meter is perfect.
Love all three verses of an extremely well written minute poem and I wish you all the best in the contest.

Wow! So now I see that the 8,4,4,4, looks like. You've done a beautiful job here.
I read about it this morning, but it helps to see it actually done and to read how easily it flows. I love perfect iambic anyway. This was a delight!
