Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “batter/better/bitter/butter.” Use one, use all four (for bonus points), use ’em any way you’d like. Have fun!
The Winning Hit
They played until the bitter end
We waited for the hit
The batter just could not defend
The catcher with the mitt
“You better hit it,” someone said
from way up in the stands
He didn’t want to be caught dead
relaxed in front of fans
But like the butter with the jam
The player hit the ball
It was a mighty full grand slam
It went way past the wall!

I wasn’t a baseball fan until I worked for a MLB team. I still don’t really watch it but at least now I know what is going on. I don’t work for them now, which is sad for me, but we moved.
