His Lady Friend

by Ring Lardner

What if a poem could transport you to the world of baseball and love? Ring Lardner's poem "His Lady Friend" is a witty and heartwarming tale of a baseball player's love for his wife. The poem is told from the perspective of the player, who reflects on his relationship with his wife and his career in baseball. The poem begins with the player describing his wife as his "lady friend." He praises her beauty and her loyalty, and he expresses his gratitude to have her in his life. He then goes on to talk about his career in baseball, and how it has taken him away from his wife for long periods of time.
