Sigh,
All night in this dusky dugout,
No one has come for me.
up here on this cold shelf
next to an empty water bottle
i wait
ticking slowly hour by hour
no one comes
Darkness
i slowly drift off to sleeeepp......
Morning it's 7:03a.m.
still no one has come to get me
I stare out onto the empty base-ball diamond
it looks lonley and abandoned,
like me
no one misses me i think
then 2 lights in the distance
coming closer and closer
it's the 2 headlights of my owners car
coming to take me home
at last

This is a very interesting poem. It is very well written. Are you saying that you would take your watch, that's what I think you are saying? Thanks for entering and good luck!

Aww, it's a very interesting subject. I liked this. And such a happy ending, hey!
Can I just ask you one thing? Which one of the options did you pick? I think it was the last one -- the object...but just making sure.
Thanks for entering, good luck!
