“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.”
