                     Ideal Baseball Collage Painted Like an American Flag

Well rounded like a
baseball, America is
stitched together
fast to help friends
and throw an assortment
of pitches to enemies
like a typical red, white
and blue game, that
yearns for homeruns
as if they are painted
in the shape of a flag.
