Let's Have Fun

Let's have fun and go play some ball.
Just so long as it doesn't hit my eyeball.
Perhaps we should do a practice drill.
If you think that will help avoid a spill.
Maybe I should give the coach a call.

I think he's shopping at the mall.
He could be cleaning out the hall.
Practice though will give him a thrill.
Let'have fun!

How about you try out your fastball?
Just so long as it doesn't hit the wall
and only until you have had your fill.
Your too young to have written a will.
Off to the park we go to play softball.
Let's have fun!
