Just One More Time

Going swimming Saturdays

At the Fish and Fiddle Inn,

Little sandy strip of beach

Just up around the bend.

Jumping off the deep end

Between boats docked at the pier.

Daring one another touch the bottom,

Testing fear.

 

Happy, carefree, lazy days

Cloud my memory with haze.

 

Sunday afternoon,

Rock Dodger Stadium awaits.

Hurling baseballs through the air

'Til evening sun abates.

Summer, winter, didn't matter,

Not as I recall.

The only thing that changed

Was the dimensions of the ball.

 

Running, catching, in my prime.

How I'd love just one more time...
