A LITTLE NONSENSE.
REPORTING THE GAME.

When the home team wins. then the
strain begins
And it tells on the press-box gang,
Who imperil health digging UP wealth
OF metaphor and slang.
When the team goes down in Its own
home town,
Then the baseball writer squirms.
Then his stuff grows tame; he describes
the game
In Anglo-Saxol terms.
