Yogi-Isms
As we look back through History
Records will attest
Some famous quotes by famous folks
But I’ll tell you whose are best.
He’s a very famous player
From Baseballs Hall of Fame
Everybody knows him
Yogi Berra is his name.
His quotes - and there are many
Are really quite profound
And are used so very often
By baseball fans around.
When he spoke his “words of wisdom”
Humor was not the intent
Yogi said just what he thought
And knew exactly what he meant!
To give you some idea
Of quotes that Yogi spoke
I’ll tell you just a few of them
Remember - they're not jokes!
“You can observe a lot by watching”
Is one that comes to mind
“We made too many wrong mistakes”
Is another that I find.
“You look real cool” said a Mayors wife
When she saw Yogi’s brand new suit.
“You don’t look so hot yourself”
He replied looking quite astute.
"I didn't really say everything I said"
"Never answer an anonymous letter"
"It ain't over till it's over"
Good examples and they don't get any better.
Those are things that Yogi said
He has his own mystique.
Although there's other famous quotes
His are quite unique.
