The Armchair Sportsman
I do not know the baseball game,
I would not know a strike;
The infield and the outfield, both
To me are quite alike.

I have heard of football players
Lining up upon the field;
Of their stopping, charging, rushing,
Till the weaker had to yield.

Then there's hockey, running, rowing
Basket ball, and tennis, too;
And many other games and sports,
But with them I've naught to do.

I work from early morn till night,
I have had no time to play;
But still I live in hope that I
May play them all some day.

Yet if, alas! I cannot play,
There's one thing I can do
That gives me pleasure without end
And always something new.

In the odd moments of the day
I find some time to read,
And sporting tales of every kind
Supply my greatest need.

I am not of athletic build.
I do not know a game;
But I experience all the joys
And feel the thrills the same.
