More Quotes from Franklin Pierce Adams:
The rich man has his motorcar, His country and his town estate, He smokes a fifty-cent cigar And jeers at Fate. He frivols through the livelong day, He knows not Poverty, her pinch. His lot seems light, his heart seems gay He has a cinch. Yet though my lamp burns low and dim, Though I must slave for livelihood Think you that I would change with him You bet I would.Franklin Pierce Adams

These are the saddest of possible words, Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance. Trio of Bear Cubs fleeter than birds, Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance. Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble, Making a Giant hit into a double, Words that are weighty with nothing but trouble, Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance. This brief poem, immortalized the Chicago Cubs' double-play combination Shortstop Joe Tinker, second baseman Johnny Evers, and first baseman Frank Chance.
