BASEBALL MITT LEFT OUT IN THE RAIN

duck, here it comes! 
snowball, iceball,  
horse chestnut 
tackle 
tussle on the lawn, grass stained 
knees & say uncle. 
Listen up, squirt, the hard lessons 
learned by watching 
snowball face wash 
gristle punk 
snot rocket! 
After grunts & grumbles 
a laugh 
a fall down god-you-kill-me 
laughter like no other. 
Bushel basket of farts, 
goofy eyed & awful. 
 
Oh my brothers 
no wonder 
I miss you all.
