Upon rounding third base,
I noticed that their catcher had
picked up home plate, and started
running away from me with it.
"Catch that motherfucker!" Screamed
my father from the stands,
but the other kid got away.
"He is their coach's son." said my dad -
- later, as we drove by the other team -
- enjoying their root beer floats at the A&W.
"He has a learning disability called nepotism."
He stated, matter of factly. "Is that why
his batter's helmet covered both his ears?"
I asked, genuinely curious.

Whilst I naturally don't understand any of the sporting terms involved in this masterpiece of yours it reminds me of an incident in my childhood when, as captain of the football team I grabbed hold of a player and yelled at him for his incompetence. Sadly he was the headmaster's son and said cunt came and picked me up by the hair and shook me like a rat. Nowadays he'd have been locked up for child abuse and buggered by the warders.

Great Job!
It's a funny write and I have to agree with you there, nepotism seems to cloud many of our vision to who is more worthy than others to receive recognition. Though short, your poem certainly speaks loudly and puts a new spin on an old subject. Thankyou for entering Horus8 and good luck to you. Avril
