Ballpark Banter:

Arlington's ballpark, games so grand,
I cheered along, hat in hand.
But then I tripped on bleacher's stair,
And tumbled down, oh what a scare!
The fans just laughed and helped me stand,
In Arlington, joy's at hand.
From home run's cheer to city's light,
Arlington's charm is pure delight.

Six Flags, with rides so bright,
I took a spin, what a sight.
But then I tripped on rollercoaster's path,
And tumbled down with quite a laugh.
The locals laughed and helped me rise,
In Arlington, joy's no surprise.
