Though eighty odd years old;
They say he is a good old sport
And when the day IS fine
He sallies forth TO watch the game,
This Bard Of Brandywne.
He's fond Of clean and manly sport.
He loves a game Of ball;
You'll find him a. each local game
From early spring till fall.
Just note the sadness on his face
If the home team runs behind.

He lots some verses on his cum.

To put his thoughts IN rhyme,
More power TO the hand and pen

And carries us in spirit 20
Where earth and heaven meet.
May all true JOY and perfect peace,
