The annual meeting of
The Thirty-Six Immortals
Of Japanese Poetry with
The Thirty-Six Female Immortals
Of Japanese Poetry always features
A baseball game after lunch.
Ono No Komachi is, of course
Both an Immortal and a Female Immortal;
Last year, she pitched for both sides.
Facing herself from the batter's box
She called "Umpire, attend closely-
There is bad blood between us;
Keep a sharp eye out for beanballs!"
