Bat Could Talk

The Kid was a brat
and he had a bat
 bat loved to talk and
to hit a good knock.

Bat hated the ball
for it  would crawl
 if the Kid would play
all through the day.

Stumps loved to chatter
they thought it better
 to rest under a bed
 than to stand on head.

 The bat and the ball
and stumps near the wall
 liked serious discussion
and an occasional brawl.

 They didn’t cross limit
the Kid wouldn’t permit
they could not  error
for  the Kid was a terror.

 If the Kid got annoyed
 they couldn’t avoid
punishment he gave
to make them behave.
