A BaIplaver IN Autumn.


Oh, the dreary, drearyr winter;
Oh, the cold and frosty winter;
All the world is chill against Us.
Nothing have we but the free lunch,
Gone the glory of the summer
Naught but recOllectiOns have we
OF base hits and speedy fielding
No one buys us fiTewater
In the long and gloomy -SnOWume-
How we subsist till the springtide
No one knows and none are caring
We can but await the coming
OF the gladstone. Joyous sunshine
Then again shall we be heroes;
Then shall we take up our places
In the bright glare of the limelight
