YOU cant's play football with a golfing stick— Now isn't that absurd? You can't play tennis with a catcher's mitt— Well, now, upon my word! No swimmers swim in baseball suits, And jockeys don't wear diving boots, At least, that's what we've heard! No quarterback wears brown polo pants— So many people say— The horseshoe pitchers don't use catchers' masks— That wouldn't fit their play! The champion boxers don't swing baseball bats, The wrestlers do not strive in new silk hats— How curious is their way! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SELLING HER ENGAGEMENT RING by KAREN SWENSON KEATS (1) by LIZETTE WOODWORTH REESE PORTRAIT BY PICHER by FRANCES BAKER THE CHASE OF THE METAPHOR by RICHARD BLACKMORE CONTRABAND by AVENELLE WILMETH BLAIR SONNET TO A LADY ON THE DEATH OF MRS. --. by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD THE WANDERER: 5.
