I just..

...finished watching the Boston Red Sox game,
they finally won, but watching causes pain;
because I have to see, the 'temps' and bullpen,
they keep screwing up, again and again.

That's not to say the regulars, sometimes do no good,
but overall they're better, play the game as they should.
So I'm going to try to lay off, baseball banter for a while;
which will cause reader relief, and maybe you can smile.

Let's take language for example, how about fun with that?
Here a couple of lines about a comma and a cat;
A cat has paws at the end of it's claws,
and a comma has a pause and the end of it's clause.

See how much fun English can be?
It's a difficult language, can cause misery;
we have so many words that pronounce just alike,
of words that have different meanings, like strike.

You can strike a ball and knock for a mile,
of you can you can swing the bat for a strike, smile!
If you swing the bat three times and don't hit the ball,
go and take your seat, three strikes, you're out after all.

Or, you can say the wind blew, across the blue sky,
while you're feeling blue, 'cause someone said goodbye.
How about cradle, you can sleep in one,
or, you can cradle a loved one, if they don't weigh a ton.

Speaking of "weigh", you know it sounds the same,
as saying "way", same word? You like this game?
There can be contractions of words, oh my lord,
go to buy a board, to fix a ship, and take it aboard.

Well that's enough of that, my brain is going numb,
there are many examples and some of them are dumb;
can you imagine how hard it is, for someone to try..
..to learn our language without having to cry?
