Cartwright called for harder balls
That bounded the rounder pentagon
For balls based in diamond walls .

Cork distilled in rubber pills,
A spine, woolen twine gets spinned upon
After drums reel and latex spills :

A core bound ;  wool looping ’round
Fattens from plies of batten bended on,
Made sound by a waxing yarn crown,

So it springs back when it’s pinged
Ofttimes .  This center’s last lines are pinned on ;
Thin strings plane all the plotted rings .

A press creates figure eights
With hollows to follow when mended on,
Once the freighted centers gyrate

In vats of pitch ;  time to stitch
One oh eight through lemniscate :  denouement,
A twitch for V’s on the ridge .

“ League ” is marked on the leather stark :
From prep to the last step sine qua non
For arcs and groundballs at the park .
