Up in the sky,
far far away,
on a soft cloud,
an angel lay.
Singing her heart out
as she usually does,
she didn't hear the people below
who were making quite a fuss.
Unlike most angels,
who have beautiful, divine voices,
her voice sounded like a toad with a cold
and the people felt they had no other choices.
They threw a rock up at her
causing her to fall down hard.
To them she looked like an ugly thing,
a big ball of lard.
As she fell,
they hit her with a bat.
Then, she chased them from tree to tree
and what do you suppose was the result of that?
They ran away from her
losing her for good.
They changed around their experience
as they thought they should.
The people invented a new game
that was to be fun for all.
They invented the all-time sport:
Baseball!
