Batter UP!

With the third game of the 2016 World Series being played tomorrow, the Cubs and Indians battle it out for the title.  It seems like a fitting time to post my baseball poem. 

Bedazzled
Baseball rules! Baseball rules!
Like a bag of colorful jewels,
A sport played on a diamond field,
With grass as green as an emerald shield,
Crisp chalk lines 'n' base pads: opal white,
And topaz-colored soil, rich and bright,
The stitches on the baseball:  ruby red,
With an aquamarine sky overhead,
Bejeweled and bedazzled, a delight to behold,
Watching a baseball game is as good as gold!
Like a bag of colorful jewels,
Baseball rules! Baseball rules!
