    About this ebook

    This is a funny short-rhyming book. Kids will enjoy listening to these poems over and over again and still be entertained by the magical words that shout out, " This is funny stuff."

    Caesar Burgess walked up to bat.
    His knees were shaking, and that was that.
    He tried and tried many times before
    But was never, never able to score.
    He looked out at the crowd
    And gave them a nod
    The gum he was chewing
    Was now a large wad.
    He took a deep breath
    For hope and for luck.
    Trying to remember
    To hit, miss or duck.
    He slowly moved back
    Just a little bit.
    He swallowed his pride
    And smacked his lip.
    All of a sudden
    It happened so fast.
    He hoped this feeling
    Would always last!
    He took a swing
    And his bat hit the ball.
    Suddenly he felt like
    He was ten feet tall.
    So he ran and he ran
    And he ran some more.
    And wouldn't you know it?
    This time he did score.

    There is also an Audio Book which makes the experience all that much better for the reader.
