I woke my son up from

A sound sleep

On a Friday night

To watch a baseball game

I knew he'd been wanting to see.

I saw it playing on tv!

"Mom," he said, very patiently,

"That was on last night.

What's on tonight must be a replay.

The cat probably stepped on the remote

Or something and accidentally turned it to that recording,

But the game is over,

And my team won."

"Oh, Ok," I said.

Well...

Sometimes I feel all of life is a playback.

I feel I've done all this before.

(And it's going to be ok,

As long as some great cosmic cat doesn't get

A hold of the remote.

Oh, and I do hope your team wins,

Mine usually doesn't 😀!)
