Gershon Wolf Poet Epigram

Rally, Rally

'Rally, Rally: Pitcher's name is Sally'
   A cry not heard this strange summer
'Defund the Police,' shouted instead in the valley
   One wonders: Which cry is dumber





Note: The first cry above was a staple of 
         youth baseball, when one's team
         was losing.  So players tried to 
         rattle the opposing pitcher.
         Sometimes it even worked...
