This is pretty funny L.Raven. I'm not an avid baseball fan myself. I'm more into basketball and football. I know about the anticipation though that you so eloquently shared in this well written poem. The last line is brilliant! I wonder if those shoes that she purchased are high heels. She wouldn't be able to run very well in those. I enjoyed this. It made me smile. Well done!

Comment from ExperiencingLiphe
Not a baseball fan but I know many who are. I work with someone who says she always goes to opening day. I work with another who says she never goes to a Brewers game when the Cubs are playing because she said the Cub fans are the rudest. People take that stuff seriously. Great job with this

Comment from Hayley Zemontas
Well you succeeded in making this poem lighthearted and fun because by the end I had a smile on my face. This reminded me of so many betrothed couples. The usual bickering and bantering, all harmless fun. Very nice story, thanks for making me smile x

Comment from Wabigoon
L. Raven--
You, your narrator, got stuck behind a wall? I feel you do minor damage to the poem by twisting words so they seem poetic or fit a rhyme scheme like the last line:
I said " good, I hope those shoes can run"
Why not. "good, I hope you can run in those shoes?"
is what I mean.
Thanks, enjoyed it
Best

Comment from kiwijenny
Ha ha ha ha ha ..was the wall in the nose bleed section? That's all we could afford...lol but when people left we'd move to a better seat.
Loved going to games...it will be harder now we don't live near a stadium any more.
Laughter is good and so is your poem
God bless

HI Jen, sorry you moved away from the stadium...sigh...I used to work at a bowling alley...I taught (certified) 125 kids...ages 5-18 to bowl...and 100 senors Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays how to bowl...at the end of the season my boss and I, some of the parents would take about 45-50 kids to a Cubs (Illinois) game...did it for about eight years...sometimes we got good seats...sometimes we were HIGH...LOL...I miss that...a lot of good memories...screaming kids, walking up and down the stairs 10-20 times...bathroom and for food...spilled drinks all over me...freezing a few times...LOL...I loved it...those were the days...I am so glad my poem made you laugh...thank you for a wonderful review...God Bless you as well...have a wonderful day...it's snowing here...LOL...love you...Linda xxoo
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
This makes the wife look really stupid. If that was your intent, you succeeded beautifully. One has to feel sorry for the man. I think this is grounds for divorce, and she owes his a financial settlement too. He needed to see that game more than she needed another pair of shoes.

Hi Phyllis, are you kidding...different strokes for different folks...this was not to make anyone like stupid...it is a poem...that's it...and by the way...my daughter has a friend(I know her very well) she is just like this...her husband is the pastor of their church...she's always doing goofy things....and spending money...she is far from stupid...and helps everyone she can...but she is flighty...I know she wouldn't think I made the woman look stupid...and my neighbors wife is the same way..and he loves the hail out of her...everyone is different Phyllis....doesn't make them stupid because they do goofy thing...all of us have done stupid things in our lives...doesn't make us stupid...polishing your nails a at game...just says...I'm really not interested in baseball...but...you are...so I'll go with you...no intent on making her look stupid...I don't think that way...thank you...Love Linda xxoo

Okay, then change STUPID to FLIGHTY or GOOFY or just FOOLISH. Those are better word choices, but shoes over good tickets? I'm surprised if hubby still speaks to her. But maybe he's used to her ways and accepts it as part of the package. :)
-
the same as she excepts the things he does...stupid, flighty, goofy, or foolish...that's where true love comes in...smiling back at you...xxoo

Good point! :)

Hello L. Raven,
Nice piece of poetry having lucid, matching the theme phraseology, and beautifully depicting its theme.
Smooth and captivating flow throughout from the beginning to the end with lovely rhyming scheme and lively imagery.
"Just for fun" has scored here SIX run'!

Hi Pam, thank you sweet girl for a wonderful review...I am so glad you like it....and you are so very welcome...love you....Linda xxoo
-
You are very welcome, Linda. I didn't know you had an interest in baseball!
-
I like baseball...but love football...your so welcome sweet girl...love you...xxoo
-
We are a baseball family!
-
we are football and car racing...that's big in Florida....and my family down there...love their caring...Sundays is a full day of channel changing...they are to funny...it's got an up side...you never see a commercial...when one comes on...were back back to football...and then back to the races...LOL...the Cubs would be the baseball team...they start good...but you can pretty much count on them giving it away at the end...But Illinois are die-heart fans...we stand by our men...LOL...
-
You definitely know your sports-this is a whole new side I have seen from you. We are Phillies' fans. It remains to be seen how the new acquisitions will impact the team because they didn't do much adding to the regular pitching staff!
-
the thing about the Cubs is...if they get good...want more money...they're out of there...LOL...
-
That is the case with a lot of teams, unfortunately.
