SPORTING JAZZ
BY BRUCE COPELAND
THE ANNUAL MARTYR,

How clear to my heart rings
the bull Of my childhood.
Whose hard.boiled appeal
smote the soul of my b0ss!,
How chokingly muttered his
words, meek and mild,
Succumb to an alibi covered
with moss.
The opening game. for some
cause or another,
Was destined. il seems. to
become pet sin:
For as it drew nigh every
spring. my grandmother
Would kick the old bucket so
could get in.
IT'S A WISE KID WHO RE
MEMBERS WHICH GRAND
MOTHER HE BURIED LAST
SPRING.
Opening games would indicate
that grandmOthers, like cats, are
equipped with nine lives each.
This is the time of year when
every boss is either boob or is
blessed with a heavy hitting sense
of humor. Adam was the only bird
who had no grandmother to bury
in order to witness the opening
game.
