“I caught that ball, all right,” said he,

When the officer questioned TEDDY-G;

“But I don’t like catching balls like that;

My place I think is at the bat.

Next time you pitch don’t throw so quick;

You struck me like a load of brick.”

Said the officer, “For bravery shown

We’ll give you a title all your own;

You can drop your Harvard L and D

And be known as Colonel TEDDY-G.”
