Crying...with a wet diaper 
The two-year-old boy weeps 
Mom and dad still sleep 
His five-year-old sister awakes- hyper 
She thinks- "I'll give him a cookie" 
The boy stops bawling- good thinks, by the rookie

In his air-conditioned trailer wuz his Arabian steed an' the finest tack!

up the road we go
down the road we ride
snowflakes seen
eye big as saucers

yep, it is no longer summer
nope, the...

Lesson plan, lesson plan, so full of detail,
Lesson plan, lesson plan, you simply can't fail.
  Every second, every minute's,
  Got something good in it;
          So-o-o
  It's time to proceed;
  You're just bound...

He began his career playing T-ball along about the age of eight,
Never dreaming that becoming a professional was to be his fate!
Right off the bat (so to speak!) he was a natural at the game.
With hard work and support he was bound to gain some...

I'm the rookie of the century, doing something new for your eyes to behold.
Whether I'm locked up in a cage or outside looking at the rain.
Am I really something to stare upon? You answer that and please keep it to yourself.

The Secret Service don't need to shout
They're randy buggers inside and out!
Wherever they go
The whole world will know
They got the girl (reeled in like a trout)!...

Interview with The Wise Rookie 

What did you think of the pitcher’s stuff tonight? 

Darn good.
Yeah, his fast ball was ugly tonight.
Pure evil. I did manage 
to put some wood on a change he threw
In the fifth, went for a single up the middle; 
but...

On the internet I am a rookie,
But the web site said they would book me
A tele-health call
And my Doc's on the ball
But I had a mouthful of cookie!...

Hand written cardboard signs
Held up by soiled hands
Asking for food, for change.
New to the game and still clean
Rookie looking like
He just went out for a walk
Stood curbside
Taking tips from the veteran.
His anguish ridden face
Spoke volumes.
No huddle necessary
Just teamwork setting up for the play.
From one car...
