Just found this vintage 1964 print of Casey at the Bat illustrated by Paul Frame in my parents bookshelf while prepping for our upcoming family garage sale. I can tell by the handwritten numbers on the pages that this belonged to my Grandpa Keenan lovingly referred to as “Papa Joe”. Any ball player (especially me) can relate to this tale. There‘s no worse pain than the fate of the game resting on your shoulders and then striking out lookin‘.

The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville nine that day:
The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play,
And then when Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same,
A pall-like silence fell upon the patrons of the game...

One of my favorite narrative poems

Forgot to post my #PoetryWednesday poems yesterday (that's what 3 schools a day will do) so here's 4th grade's poem.

This classic is great because the kids grasp the broad strokes easily, but the verbiage is actually pretty complex so we get some good vocabulary work done.

Cayuse A million years ago, I owned the Mad Magazine paperback which had this poem illustrated verse by verse. Have to go find that now - ref: http://tinyurl.com/yccmsjhy (edited) 7y
