Road Trip

        My friend, David, called me.
        He asked me to go to Atlanta.

        Of course, he
        has seats at Atlanta

        Braves.
        He told me to pack for

        the night. Braves
        are his favorite team.

        I love baseball: Braves,
        Cubs. Yankees, it may seem

        that I am fickle, but baseball
        has heroes

        and I have met some
        of the great ones,

        Pee Wee, Mantle,
        Rose and Minnie

        would cook me
         chicken strips at Sluggers

        and give me bottles of
        his favorite beer,

        non-alcohol,
        I was never to tell

        on him for his,
        keeping up

        appearances.
        He was awarded

        inclusion to the
        Hall of Fame,

        for his accomplish–
        ments.
