OH FATHER, dear father, come home with me now The seventeenth inning is done The night settles fast on the bleachers and stands, And there isn't a sign of a run! Oh father, dear father, pass up the darned game, And hurry right home with me now, For mother just 'phoned that she'll wait half an hour Ere she bounces an iron off your brow! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPORT STORY OF A WINNER by GLYN MAXWELL WOMAN SKATING by MARGARET ATWOOD FISHING IN WINTER by RALPH BURNS CAPPER KAPLINSKI AT THE NORTH SIDE CUE CLUB by HAYDEN CARRUTH JACKIE ROBINSON by LUCILLE CLIFTON FOR THE DEATH OF VINCE LOMBARDI by JAMES DICKEY THE DEATH OF THE RACE CAR DRIVER by NORMAN DUBIE A FOOL THERE WAS by WILLIAM A.
