BACK AGAIN, by                    
First Line: The scribe returns from training camp,
Last Line: "comes that one chant, ""how do they look?"
Subject(s): Athletes; Baseball; Sports


THE scribe returns from training camp,
From tropic suns and tropic damp,
From mixing with the chattering droves
Of agents selling orange groves,
From each once-famous Spanish place
Where now the rookies slide to base—
He's back—and all he hears is just
"How do they look? Are they a bust?"
While every rooter wildly pants
"How do they look? Have they a chance?"
Oh, babblier than any brook,
Comes that one chant, "How do they look?"
