Ever since I was a young boy I’ve loved the game of baseball with a passion that grows every day. There’s a special feeling I get when I step on a baseball field, a feeling of strength, determination, and excitement. The field is a place where I can go to relax and relieve stress. Baseball has shaped my personality and I definitely wouldn’t be the same person without it.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
I’ve always wondered about the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, but the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were the most interesting to me.
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are said to be built by King Nebuchadnezzar, who ruled over Babylon for 43 years starting in 605 BC. They were built to cheer up Nebuchadnezzar’s homesick wife, Amyitis. Amyitis was the daughter of the king of the Medes, she had married Nebuchadnezzar to create alliance between the nations. She came from a place with green, mountainous, rugged terrain and move to an area of very flat and hot land so she could be with her husband, but she grew very depressed. The king decided to build a huge building with rooftop gardens so she would feel more at home.
Another theory is that the gardens were built 300 miles away in Nineveh, Babylon’s greatest enemy, by the great Assyrian ruler Sennacherib.

Animals go to school
I came across an animal
On the way to school
His tail was very long
And his ears were very tall
I hid him in my back pack
So that teacher would not see
He stayed there very quietly
Until frightened by a tree
1st Game
It was hot
like a batch of cookies
just taken out of the oven
“Baseball season has started up,”
bellowed the ump,
as my team and I
took the field
I was on the mound
ready to go as many innings
as possible
Little did I know
the ump was as bad
as a rotten tomato
The game was over
man we stunk
we lost seven to ten
in the end
It’s alright, it’s ok,
we’ll beat them next time
anyway
