Overheard while waiting for a bus:

Two men arguing about the price of a boat.
This boat,
anyone could see
Was a giant
piece of shit.
Rusted and peeling, clearly weather worn
This old man
Was so attached to this boat
beyond any reason
or excuse.
but while trying to ascertain its value
The young man said
"give me a ballpark"

A ballpark.
Give me a ballpark.
Something to gauge your value on.
Are you a pinch hitter
or a home run?
