Old Man Skeeter Pop

Old Man Skeeter Pop Old man Skeeter Pop pushed a broom and carried a mop, kids all loved him cause he made them laugh, when he'd pull out his teeth and put them back. He didn't have much hair on his head, never wore a belt but suspenders instead. While sweeping and mopping he sang through the halls, cleaning kid's messes from the floors to the walls. Then one sunny day in June, Skeeter put down his mop and broom. He joined the kids in their baseball game, instead of a bat he used a cane. His first time at the pitcher's mound, his suspenders let loose and his pants fell down. He yanked them up and threw the ball, strike one two and three he shocked them all. He stood up to bat with his cane in hand, and hit that ball right out of the stands. The kids all cheered and screamed his name, run Skeeter Pop run as their team won the game. Those who thought he was to old to play, learned a valuable lesson that sunny day. People are filled with all kinds of surprises, and those who try are always the wisest.
