HOLIDAY (OBSERVED)
With apologies to Franklin P. Adams, and to Messrs. Tinker, Evers, and Chance–
These are the gladdest of possible words:
“Pitchers and catchers reporting today!”
Baseball fans’ hearts sent a-soaring like birds–
“Pitchers and catchers reporting today!”
The drear of your office, or doldrums of class time
Will soon be cheered up by our national pastime;
Winter’s not over, but Spring’s on its way–
“Pitchers and catchers reporting today!”
