Hello there Blue
Good day to you
We sure respect
The job you do.
We’re all here
To enjoy the sun
Play some softball
And have some fun
So..
Whatever you call
Will be fine with us
We are not the kind
To make a fuss
Whoa..
I realize that pitch
Hit the mat
But I was thinking
It was pretty darn flat?
Now how can that pitch
Not be illegal
The dang thing almost
Hit an Eagle
What??
Oh my gosh
That ball was fair
You can’t make the call
Just standing there
Now…
That ball was foul
It was plain to see
Both teams saw it
Not just me
Maybe..
Ask the other ump,
or someone in the stands
You have to watch it all the way
To see where it lands.
Oh C’mon Blue..
Their runner left early
Without a doubt
You gotta watch that play
You gotta call him out.
Oh man..
Their runner did not slide
Or get out of the way
You gotta call them both out
It ‘s a double play
Oh no..
I beat the tag
With a nice hook slide
What is going on
Are you on their side?
Oh come on Blue
Say it ain’t true
Everyone saw it
Why didn’t you.
And please
Ask their shortstop
For his I.D.
The dang guy looks
A decade younger than me
Uhm.
When I am standing
In the batters box
I know it is fine
If their catcher talks
However..
When I start my swing
And I hear him shout
Hey batter batter
You are going to go out.”
Please
Help me out Blue
And tell this dude
That’s catcher’s interference
And downright rude
What the..
That was no catch
The ball hit the ground
I am half deaf
And still heard the sound.
Oh-oh Blue
We know this team
We’ve played them before
We’ll lose this game
If their wives keep score
I realize
We did not hit
And could not make a play
But none of your calls
Went our way
So C’mon Blue
Say it ain’t true
We shoulda never got beat
By twenty two.
So..Come on Blue
I know it is true
And I think you do too
We might have won that game
If it wasn’t for you
I am thinking
Perhaps you should go
To umpire classes
Get your hearing checked
And buy some glasses
Wow!
I cannot believe
You gave me a warning
In the 2nd inning
Of the 1st game in the morning.
Nothing personal
I know you did your best
Perhaps you need
A good night’s rest.
We will see you tomorrow
It will be a brand new day
Maybe some of your calls
Will go our way.
