THE QUITTER

The GUTTER
When everything was going right,
And breaking all his way.
He was quite a quiet fellow,
With not a word to say.
But let things break against him.
And then you'd hear him howl;
He'd cuss al all his teammates,
He'd fuss and whine and howl.
He'd quit as cold as icebergs.
He'd lose his nerve and stuff:
He simply couldn't stand the gaff,
When TIE going got too rough.
