Strike Three


Sometimes we’re given choices in life. In our so-called free
Society we take it for granted that it’s our right. When asked
To call the coin toss, I always choose heads. When faced with
Two directions at a crossroads, I generally choose to go left.

I have a gift of sorts when at bat in baseball, I can elect to swing
Right-handed or left. I know my power lies with the right side
Which stands clearly on the left side of the plate. It would seem

I have the best of both worlds even though chances are I’ll usually
Strike out anyway. With coin tosses and left or right turn choices
There is a 50/50 chance; batting averages in baseball are a whole dif-
ferent story. That was my reasoning for choosing non-athletic careers

To make a living. Heads!...Damn it!
