The Field at Rest

The field is laying at rest

Poplar tress guarding that big green fence,

A scoreboard in Right-Center Field that hardly ever works

The grass is green and smells so good

The infield is a bright brownish-red

In the center a mound pops up

Everything is raked and the lines are chalked

We get ready and the fans show up

The catcher's mitt cracks as the pitcher start throwing

The metal bats ping when they hit the ball

The fans cheered the whole time

The game is over, the fans have left

Once again the field is laid to rest.
