The Hooky, Cookie, Rookie
Dr. James E. Martin
©January, 2014

They say his nick-name is “Cookie.”
From school he’d often play hooky.
He was no fool,
Was actually quite cool,
It is evident he was no rookie....

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

He drove up to the Triple "T" Ranch in his brand new Cadillac!
In his air-conditioned trailer wuz his Arabian steed an' the finest tack!
He'd dreamed uv bein' a real workin' cowboy since he wuz a tad,
So he fitted hisself out with the latest fashions there wuz to be had!

On his Tony Lama alligator boots he...

winter vacation rookie
still cutting on the air
woman thinks he is crazy
shakes her head as earth returns

heat now on
woman now content
funyuns being munched on
dr. pepper being gulped down

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

yep, it is no longer summer
nope, the feeling does not change
yep, life is no longer a bummer
nope,...

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!...

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 to succeed!

An hour later you're tired
Of results undesired,
From a class...

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 fame!

He advanced to the little leagues as he grew in...

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.
While I set the stage, my enemies crumble, imagine once I start turning up the...

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 his slider tonight was bloody wicked, 
Especially when thrown down...

run for fun
run as a rookie
  rookie plays hooky
  rookie seeks fame
fame is a game
fame can hurt 
  hurt like dirt
  hurt your skills
skills and drills
skills to run  
               run out of fun

FROM A ROOKIE TO A POWER HOUSE PLAYER
Lights, camera, action...

In the back of your head...

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 to the next
Some give some don’t.
I was ready this time.

I hope everyone welcomes me here, so far everyone is nice.
Soon once I feel comfortable, I will be a...
