Umpire Blackballed

[Rog]

Come and let me tell ya a story about a man named Jeb
a poor mountainman who berely keep his family fed
one season it seems that ol' Jeb took to umpiring
so as to put some extra vittles on the table
if you could call that thing a table
any hows ol Jeb was doing a game at the dish one day
when low n behold along comes a routine play at 1st
with no one on his partner bangs out the batter runner
and Jeb thinks yup sure nuff was a good call
now all of a sudden out comed the scorekeeper of all people all rambunctious an carry'n on with such a ruckus
now poor ol Jeb is beside himself with bewilderment
and kinda wonder'n and confused bout hows to get back inside
when ol hick pencil pusher jaws on Jeb bout gettn the
calls right fer gawd sakes
well yall knows what happen thens
pencil neck goes over the mountain and through the woods
real spritely we might add
so things are settled down and ol Jeb's back at the dish
when out comed the manager who now wants to jaw a piece
bout why pencil neck got winged like geese headed south
ol' Jeb knows bout this ol bird manager being a
arrogant dictator intimidating type
but Jeb lets him jaw a spell and then finally gives
the manager the word that this ain't going no wheres
so lets play some more of this here ballgame
ol Jeb figures since things went along after that
just as slick as chiken crap on a wet hen house floor
that things were all settled and done with
however a couple days later ol Jeb's assigner calls
and says to ol Jeb that hees a making a schedule change
cause that ol manager has called and donts wants ol Jeb back
says ol Jeb is an unapproachable sort a feller
now poor ol Jeb donts know what to do
cause he thought he done a gooden game
buts the assigner says thats the way it is ol Jeb
and you really donts want to sees him again away does ya
now ol Jeb being the poor ol ignorant hillbilly he is
just had an inkling hed sees what you all thinks bout this blackballn stuff and how to deal squarely with it
yall write back now ya hear
