The Big Game<br />
It was the championship game,<br />
And almost the whole town came.<br />
We were playing our archenemy,<br />
The Lincoln Park Lenape.<br />
It was the bottom of the ninth inning,<br />
And we weren’t winning.<br />
We were down by one,<br />
And knew what had to be done.<br />
There were two outs,<br />
But never any doubts.<br />
First up was Lindsay,<br />
And then it was me.<br />
Third was Jenny,<br />
And then it was Kelsey.<br />
Lindsay got a single,<br />
And heard the crowd jingle.<br />
A smile appeared on her face,<br />
As she stole second base.<br />
A tingle went down my spine,<br />
As I hit it down the right field line.<br />
Lindsay came around to score.<br />
And it sure wasn’t a bore.<br />
Then without any trouble,<br />
Jenny hit a double.<br />
She moved me to third,<br />
Where I was as alert as a bird.<br />
All this suspense,<br />
Was making me tense.<br />
For, I knew that I was the winning run,<br />
That would start all the fun.<br />
Staying nice and tall,<br />
The pitcher released the ball.<br />
It was low,<br />
And bounced off the catcher’s toe.<br />
I broke from third base,<br />
Like a detective who just found the answer to a case.<br />
Without a care,<br />
I flung my body into the air.<br />
And the Lenape coach threw a fit,<br />
As I slid under the catcher’s mitt.<br />

Gum<br />
Chewy, sticky, pink<br />
Tasty in your mouth, now chew!<br />
Blow and it will . . . POP!<br />
