Slugger mid size

Named Loisville
And in the family
Twenty two years.
Found behind kitchen door.
Developing wrists
Discouraging two
Wannabee burglars.
Pounding down tent pegs
For July 4th camping
In the backyard.
Dad and two kids
Telling ghost stories
Popping corn over
The Hibachi.
Chasing away that damn
Pitbull from four doors down.
Trying for their hot dogs
In the cooler.

Showing up as Ricky's
Favourite in junior league
Batting his strong point
In the four innings he
Might play with Coach's nod
And wave in.
Mom and Dad tracking
It down later for
The drive home. Placing
Again back of the kitchen door.
That all might be well.
