Teenage Jesus #2 party 011227

Teenage Jesus #3 could be "ball" but I'm guessing that's not right. Although, you CAN play ball, and when you do, you may encounter a ball hog (that is one who is reluctant to let anyone else touch the ball.) 011227

Turns the leaves to gray
And I haven't got time
For_the waiting_game.
