Ph: Haiku: ' Diamond ' Health News Poem by Brian Johnston

1.
life is good (I think?) -
I'm able to move one bite
from home plate to mouth

2.
'first base's' great goal
but 'second, ' 'third, ' feels better -
a 'home run's' too quick

3.
a 'base hit's' the best
'home runs' raise expectations -
who needs the pressure?

4.
pitcher's arm's fragile,
the worst batters get lucky -
a perfect game? fluke!

5.
balls juggled in air
each day fewer in number -
hits are what matters

6.
all bases loaded,
one more run in means you win -
hit still what matters

7.
game's umpires all suck,
most truth, it seems, disputed -
just gravity wins
