The onus

Some say it's bogus 
when the onus is upon us -
but I say, stick it up your anus! 
Onus is bonus.
When it bears down 
and we get to decide, we got 
to decide: do we just let the consequence 
for not doing this violate us? Or 
do we step up, flip the situation over 
take it on and ride! Call's all y'all's 
if you've got enough balls, might as well 
bunt, hit some fouls and curves,
take one for the team and walk
or charge the mound, here comes 
every pitch you will ever be served:
fast or as slow as they shoot or glide by.
Right over the plate: it's all yours.
Cut loose, crack boom watch that sucker 
fly, or add one to your count of strikes 
and balls. The onus is upon you now 

- how shall you score?

It's all y'all's.
