Rodney Blows His Chance It looked extremely rocky for the tickler ten that day The score stood four to six with but an inning left to play. And so, when Max died at first, and Kenny did the same, A pallor wreathed the features of the patrons of the game. A straggling few got up to go, leaving there the rest, With the hope that springs eternal within the human breast. For they thought if only Rodney could get a whack at that. They’d put up .even money with Rodney at the bat. Rick let drive a single to the wonderment of all, And the much despised Polack tore the cover off the ball, And when the dust had lifted and they saw what had occuned, There was Polack safe at second, and Rick a huggin’ third. Then from the gladdened multitude went up a joyous yell, It bounded from the mountain top and rattled in the dell, It struck upon the hillside, and rebounded on the flat, For Rodney, mighty Rodney, was advancing to the bat. There was ease in Rodney’s manner as he stepped into his place, There was pride in Rodney’s bearing and a smile on Rodney’s face, And when responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat. No stranger in the crowd could doubt, ‘twas Rodney at the bat. And now the leather covered sphere came hurtling through the air. And Rodney stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there; Close by the sturdt batsman the ball unheeded sped “ That ain’t my style,” said Rodney. “Strike one," the Umpire said. With a smile of utmost modesty great Rodney’s visage shone. He stilled the rising tumult and bade the game go on; He signalled to the pitcher and again the spheroid flew, But Rodney still ignored it and the Umpire said, “Strike Two.” The sneer is gone from Rodney’s lip; his teeth are clenched with hate, He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate; And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go, And the air is shattered by the force of Rodney’s blow. Oh! somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright. The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout; There's so much joy in Middletown-mighty Rodney has “Struck out.” Dedicated to Rodney from all members of the Conglomeration, French Ticklers, and Rodney fans. If only I’d started at the bottom. Some of the richest men around could have been a little richer. If they hadn’t put off buying life insurance. When you’re 20 your rates start near the bottom of the scale. When you’re 25 they start higher. When you’re 30 even higher. So, don’t wait.
