All winter long,
I am one for whom the bell is tolling;
I can arouse no interest in basketball,

The sports pages are strictly no soap!
And until the cry Play Ball! I simply mope.

It is statute and ordained that in na place of the Realme there be used Fute-ball, Golfe, or uther sik unproffitable sportes.
