 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

MEMORIES OF YOUTH


So son said "Gramps" throwing me a mitt
"Play catch with Ryan!"
First off can I catch the ball
Next would this 74 year old arm
Be able to toss the ball back
Made the three pointer first shot
Next thing you know I'm throwing curves
About the speed of a knuckle ball
But it felt good being a kid again
Remembering when it was Ron Santo
I was pitching too at Rainer play field
The arms still there the knees are gone
But it brought back memories of my youth
Only then testing radar guns
Today safe not getting a ticket
In the school zone
