Batter Up
Posted: September 28, 2008
A creative alternative to presidential debates…
Forget debates. Let's have a slug fest
in historic Fenway Park.
Who can clear the big Green Monster?
Grab a bat and eye the mark.
"Mick" McCain can't reach the fences.
Something 'bout an injury.
Says he got it as a prisoner
standing up for liberty.
All the same he has the knowledge
how to loft a ball that far.
Having been around the bases,
he's the only real all-star.
"Babe" Obama sure looks pretty
in his well-pressed baseball pants. But he just stands there (bat on shoulder)
in his "Aren't I handsome?" stance.
Neither one has home run power.
Still let's watch them try to hit.
One will likely make SOME contact.
One will scratch and chew and spit.
