THE Manager, with stony glare, Frowns on the timid youth "I gotta tell ya," booms the boss, "A hard and cruel truth! Ya'll never doya can't make good Ya're nothin' but a dub Go get a job at pilin' hay Ya can't stick with the club!" The timid youth, with signs and moans, Goes out upon his way Builds up his basehits and his skill, And then returns some day Comes back upon another team, And trims his former crew, Which makes the Manager paint all The ozone green and blue! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPORT STORY OF A WINNER by GLYN MAXWELL WOMAN SKATING by MARGARET ATWOOD FISHING IN WINTER by RALPH BURNS CAPPER KAPLINSKI AT THE NORTH SIDE CUE CLUB by HAYDEN CARRUTH JACKIE ROBINSON by LUCILLE CLIFTON FOR THE DEATH OF VINCE LOMBARDI by JAMES DICKEY THE DEATH OF THE RACE CAR DRIVER by NORMAN DUBIE A FOOL THERE WAS by WILLIAM A.
