The Peaceful. Minded Rooter.
nancefu1.Yn}pded rooter h,it

roofing is. ! know.
Not ill-natured or obnoxious, and l
would not have it so:
I've my fixed place in the hleachers
where I always like to he,
And the etiquette Of roofing comes
quite natural to me.
I am tolerant and quiet; ! don't claim
to know it all.
Hut ] do claim to know something of
the finer points Of ball,
And my eye is clear and steady. and
my judgment just Az fair.
As is that Of any umpire who is bel
lowing out there.
1t Uas in the seventh inning. and the
score was five to four.
And the visitors were roofing quite
obnoNiously for more;
] vas sitting there politely. hut I
hreathed u fervcnt PRAYER
That when Wagner got the willow
there'd he something doing
there:
For a run would let us tic them. and
IL Wagner brought ono in
u would I've some consolation, for |
really like 10 win.
And must confess my anger Was
aroused tn near a shout
Tha there was m grace in Wagner,
and he probably fan out.
OF course. I'm only human. and j
really like =" win
Rut there is 10 disposition on my part
to rub il in.
Ard this coarse ill-natured banter.
lacking courtesy and wit,
Filled my ,nmost soul with loathing
OF tho onor who uttered it.
We had three man on the. bases. and ]
heard the hat 60 crack.
And tn" sphere went high and higher
Just a tiny spcck OF black.
Till rose up On the hleachcrS with
truly proper howl.
Since No had them trimmed and heat
rn:-And the umpire called it
foul,
%ot-. my eye i. clear and steady, aud
know the hit WAS fair.
Notwithstanding the decision Of a
rirat" way out there.
And the rooter who had CALLED me
'risd: sit down. OLD Fussy
Clothes"
Whereat I reached a bottle nhich
broke upon his nose.
Then he coun.ered on my optic. and
jahbed him with my cane
In the region of his Naisthand till he
roared aloud With pain.
And he .iah!,ed my silk hat downward
till my flashing eyes were hid.
W hi,h tho rules of Reed and Roberts
as to roofing quite forbid.
m 2 peaceful-minded rooteI. inc l
have my share of pose.
Ana it's rarely break bottles on the
merest strangers nose;
SUIT am no sheep 10 lot them shear
my patient pelt Of wool.
When they rob us of three.baEkers
With the bases Drumming full.
and there's courtesy in roofing. MS !
think YOU will agree,
And the slostinG i%nterloper Who adds
glib: tc injury.
Should remember there is fire in the
oldest rooter yet.
And in roofing for outsiders there's a
thing called etiquette.
