Center Fielder

 
There he stood in center field

when the batter swung hard at the ball.

The ball went flying way up in the air

and he waited for it to fall.

 
It was high above the fence

He stood below in wait.

From the benches he could hear them yell,

“Get it before it’s too late!”

 
With all his energy. and all his strength

he leaped way high up there

and caught that ball that wouldn’t fall,

about ten feet in the air!
