On the Spur Of the Moment
BY Roy K. Moulton

Tho "Umps."
no emperor of ancient Romo was ever
half SO great
AS is tho monarch that tho world has
reokoned with OF late.
his subjects stand In anxious awo,
both terror-struclk and dumb.
To learn their fate as signalled by
tho wtSglo of his thumb.
lmperious and absolute he reigns. q
power supreme
Above Napoleon's ideas and Nero's
fondest dream
The destiny of nations rests upon his
mighty frame
And medieval despots were. compared
with him. quite tame.
upon pedestal he stands until, with
temper quick
The bleacher angels take n hand and
some ono hcavcs brick.
Observe his lno court language ana
his diplomatic style;
"Gwan. you'se flint head bush league
dub. you're out a good long
mile"
Take notice of tho dignity which
marks his every word.
Back to the bench You'se got a
nerve dat surely is bird"
Just listen to his polished tone rs
smooth as velvets nap.
Brush by. you'se imitation or Til
scramble up your map"
Mark we'll the great and naughty mlen
as pearls of disdom drop.
Play ball and sluff dat phoney talk
or else I'll flag de COP
Decisions on affairs OF state from this
arbiter flow
Until. quite Unexpected, some pop bot
tie lays him low.
Tho rabble's protests don't disturb the
tenor of his way.
He's quite impervious to all his
bleacher critics say.
But, like tho old Egyptian kings they
tell about in rhyme
lie does not reign forever. but must
pay tribute TO Time.
BE starts out In major league and
slowly he works down
Until he rules tho back lot game, the
awe of some tank town.
His victims still yen "Robber' and
make personal remarks,
Just like were heard long years ago
around the city parks.
Hes IN bad all his stormy life and
when the end Is nigh.
He knows he's earned his reward, a
good safe place on high.
