GHOST RUNNER ON FIRST

Back in the days of youth with 2 friends of mine
we played the three man kickball all the time
and with the three man rules you cant avoid the fate
to call a ghost runner on first base

The yard in which we toiled was large
it backed up to the old man's barn lot
and he didn't like it when the ball would come is way
said "I'm gonna shoot you little bastards dead one day,
and you'll REALLY be a ghost runner on first..."

Well I remember well the day
me and Michael got Ed to play
with two in the field and one at bat,
the ghost runners carried the day
to score was 3 to 5 to 8

Then I saw old Edward take the plate
his eyes were filled with crazy kickball hate
and with malice, kicked it very far
it landed somewhere in the old man's yard

the old man's yard was death's door
overgrown, but we finally found the ball
as Edward grabbed it, a shot rang out -
blew a four inch hole in Ed
as we ran screaming, the old man said

"I told you little shits before,
don't kick the ball in my yard!
now you're little buddy is dead!!
Remember just what I said -
I said you'd REALLY be a GHOST RUNNER ON FIRST"
