Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Hank Aaron

Hank Aaron was a baseball great.

He broke the Babe Ruth record for

Home runs - '73 the date,

And kept on hammering out  more.

Being black he suffered a lot

Of racism through his career.

But to the watching world he brought

A nature filled with grace and cheer.

Out on the field Hank gave his all.

And off the field Hank strove to be

In life as well as in baseball,

A person filled with dignity.

A gentleman we all can thank.

Rest in Peace great "Hammerin' Hank."
