THE baseball fan gets up and loudly yowls— He tears the well-known welkin with his howls— He shrieks as every athlete goes to bat, He makes weird tatters of his brand new hat— His general conduct is a frightful sin, And yet the coppers do not take him in! He's crazy! The racetrack follower hangs across the rail, And squalls until the atmosphere turns pale. He makes a honking trumpet of his chin, While begging some blamed horse to come and win— He makes that racetrack seem like hardboiled———, And yet they do not chuck him in a cell! He's nutty! Behold the youngster at the football game— He leaps and dances till his hoofs go lame! The warcries of the fighting Turks and Greeks Are simply nothing to his hideous shrieks— After the game, he goes and paints the town, And no one locks him up to cool him down! He's dippy! |
