BASEBALL
Baseball is grass,
chalk, and dirt displayed the same yet
differently
in every park that has ever heard the words, “Play ball!” Baseball is
the
scent of spring and summer, the unmistakable sound of a double down the
line. Baseball is timeless. Baseball is forever.

BASKETBALL
A hook shot kisses
the rim and hangs there, helplessly, but
doesn't
drop. The starting center times his jump perfectly, gathering the
orange
leather from the air like a cherished possession. The forward lays the
ball gently against the glass for a layup, and sees an orange blur
floating
perfectly through the net.

BOXING
What a paradox
that the most brutal of sports is also the most
sensitive
and the most creative. Two combatants, one ring, and a battle governed
as much by determination and drive as by rules and referees; that’s
boxing.

FISHING
This weekend I went fishing, a fish in mind to catch,
I went
wishing,
wishing, wishing, to catch a perfect catch.
I wanted to catch the big
one,
the one that always gets away,
I waited under the hot, hot sun, I
waited
for that fish all day.

FOOTBALL
The quarterback hikes the ball,
He throws up the best fake of them all.
He hands it to the tailback,
Watch out for the sack!
He runs down the sidelines and spins off a defender,
And keeps going for the touchdown with splendour.

GOLF
The lofted ball up in the sky,
From early Scotland you can hear them cry.
If it lands in the rough and not on the green,
A verbal lament, an error gone unseen.
Rythmic swings like ballroom dance,
The slightest error reduces your chance,
An errant head or a wandering eye,
If the ball is topped it won't even fly.

HOCKEY
Hello out there, we're on the air,
It's hockey night tonight,
Tension grows, the whistle blows,
And the puck goes down the ice.
Now the final flick of a hockey stick,
And on one gigantic screen,
Well, the puck is in, the home team wins,
That good old hockey game.

HOCKEY
NIGHT IN CANADA
Come, come winter
wind, blow your frosty days and ice-still
nights,
call the town to the rink, the puck is dropped, the game begins, it’s
hockey
night in Canada. Shining there in the moonlight, the ice as yet
unscarred,
soon the perfect surface is criss-crossed, he shoots, he scores!

TENNIS
A
rocket power serve up the T on the deuce side is a point of no return.
It's an ace making it fifteen love. A backhand slices the ball to the
foe who parries and sends the ball to the line. Leaping like a cat it's
returned in a frenzied volley. Finally, the ball whizzes past the
frozen form of the opponent. Game, set, match.
