Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 First Pitch


The year was nineteen forty one.

April twenty sixth was the day.

The place, Wrigley Field, was begun

A new milestone of baseball play.

First time at a pro baseball game

Music from an organ was heard.

To rouse the crowd there was the aim.

By all accounts the crowd was stirred.

Some legal complications stilled

The organ play on some tunes due

To radio rights unfulfilled.

Lawyers listened, waiting to sue.


Air the Cubs' team song at the time

Would have been a broadcasting crime.
