I once had a pitch
Or should I say, it once had me
It hasn’t much zoom
But isn’t it good, missing the wood?
They asked me to play
And they asked if the pitch had some hair
So I pitched off the mound
And they hit a few flares
I sat on a bench, biding my time
Earning a dime
I pitched for just two
And then they said
It’s time for bed
They told me to work
In the video room to get past these gaffes
I told them I would
And crawled off to avoid the media’s wrath
And when I awoke I was alone
This Byrd had flown
Can I put out the fire?
It would be good, if I just could
