the following from his pen:
WINTER
"In my face the snow is piling.'
The old baseball diamond said.
Don't expect me to be smiling
When I'm almost buried dead:
Hear the old north understanding
In a voice Of arctic glec,
No more are the rooters bowling,
Empty seats don't sing to me.
Long my players have disbanded,
Leaving nine unguarded spots,
Down in Florida they've landed,
Selling lots and lots of lots;
Old man, Winter, though you're show
ing,
You can sparkle every day.
Ten times brighter I'll be glowing
When my stars come back to play"
