Gershon Wolf Poet Clerihew

'you Can Observe a Lot Just By Watching'

Yogi Berra, the Greatest Sage
Of Major League Baseball's Golden Age

   Yogi said, "The future ain't what it used to be."
   'Cos when Berra died ~
       ~ They broke the mold and buried the key

A few more 'Yogi-isms' to marvel at:
  . When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
  . I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
  . No matter where you go, there you are.

Nancy Kaufman June 23, 2021 at 9:15 AM My dad always idolized Yogi. Thanks for this wonderful tribute. Gershon Wolf June 23, 2021 at 6:34 PM Yogi was a great baseball player, by the way. People didn't take him too seriously (for obvious reasons), and he was kind of short and plumpy, but wow, could he ever play the game. Revisionist baseball historians are now setting the record straight on this great N.Y. Yankee. :) gw

Mahtab Bangalee June 21, 2021 at 9:41 PM for the bewilderment future, have to be a silent observer!

L Milton Hankins June 21, 2021 at 8:21 PM One of the greatest of baseball. Did you know that Winston Churchill was a great fan of statements that start out in one direction and quickly change to another, i.e. "When you come to a fork in the road, take it"? Gershon Wolf June 22, 2021 at 6:50 PM I didn't know that about Winston Churchill, Milt. Thanks for the info! ~ The Mick, Whitey, and Yogi
