Dark night skies over open fields surround
A baseball diamond. A single blade of grass
Waving gently in a breeze, has gone to seed
A pale full moon marks the innings as radar
Sweeps the infield with the bases loaded
The batter hits a fly and rounds first base running
The crowd cheers. The ball flies past the stadium
Lights shining on the yellow and orange pennants
Landing somewhere in the dark field, beyond
As the runners charge home a parrot laughs
I have a Silver Triple A Eveready Battery!
The next batter swings. It’s another home run
All alone amidst a flock of parrots. A snake
With sunglasses emerges from a drainpipe
The Sphynx wears sunburn lotion on his nose
A Mustang drives around the Kentucky Derby
The Eiffel Tower’s beam of light spins and shines
Out to sea, like a sunrise over the Coast of France
