S is for Senior,
Senior Softball
Playing guys our own age
Is the most fun of all
E is for extra
Extra base hit
The older I am
The fewer I get
N is for never
Negatory and not
There is no warranty
For the Miken I bought
I is for us
As in you and me
Softball has a way
Of making us a we.
O is for outfield
A great place to play
I am afraid of ground balls
So out here I will stay
R is for round
Round rolling ball
The one we’ve been chasing
Since we first learned to crawl.
S is for strike mat
When we are at bat
If the ball hits the rubber
Why argue with that
O is a circle
With no end or beginning
If there is softball in Heaven
Both teams will be winning
F is for fun
With friends on the field
For all the sore muscles
Not fully healed.
T is turn two
A sweet thing to do
Unless of course
The batter is you.
B is the bat
That gives the ball wings
Why does one ounce
Affect our swings
A is for ageing
Aches and arthritis
None of which dampen
The spirit inside us
L is for the ladies
It is their game too
I’ve even seen them
Argue with Blue
L is for like
Most likely love
For playing a game
With a bat, a ball, and a glove
