You Will Find Me There
Written for Evening Journal
BY James 4. CrOzler.

want to tell you my brother. Ed.
That the grass is now showing
green,
And guess we won't have many
more SHOWS
Till some games Of baseball are
seen.
And then should the days be very
warm,
The sun sending down its heat.
We can borrow some nice girls
parasol.
And be found on bleacher scat.
I love to hear umpires, if they are
square.
Cry out one ball. or strike one;
I'm a fan that's sure. and always
have been,
For ! surely enjoy such fun.
There is no other sport that appeals
to me,
That is truth surely declare.
But a game OF ball any good at all
You will find Mr.. J. T. c. there.
I would not know youe my brother,
friend,
If YOU were disposed TO be there,
But that you may know il is jim, all
right.
You will see a yellow rose in my
hair
AS the days go by I'm improving
some. =
But still have some aches and pain
The result OF lifting that ice cream
tub,
But I'll never do that thing again.
A lady said to me yesterday
That was something you should not
have done;
I guess you forgot this truth dear sir,
That you are no longer young.
Why I'm only a. kid. past eighty-two
And l tell you I've suffered much
pain.
But as sure as you live. I'll repeat i
to you,
l will never try that thing again.
