Poison Ivy League
(words & music by giant - baum - kaye)
Hail to thee old ivy league
Poison ivy league
The ra-ra boys are sitting round the table tonight
The ra-ra boys have lots of plans in view
Theyre gonna have panty raids
And make their own lemonade
Theyll live it up just like the big boys do
Poison ivy league, boys in that ivy league
Give me an itch, those sons of the rich
That poison ivy league
The ra-ra boys will go to bed so early tonight
Before exams they need a lot of rest
They gotta make good for dad
They gotta make good so bad
Theyll even pay someone to take that test
Poison ivy league, boys in that ivy league
How can they flunk, theyre so full of bunk
That poison ivy league
The ra-ra boys are being groomed for business some day
For better things to college they were sent
And you can bet theyll be the head of the company
As long as dear old daddys president
Poison ivy league, boys in that ivy league
So loaded with cash, they give me a rash
That poison ivy league
So let it be told
I wont touch them with a ten foot pole
That poison ivy league

I would love to see Flip get back into the league. I think he can definitely still coach in this league. I think he will be in this league quicker than sooner.

After one year in the Texas League, the American League bought the rights to my contract. They optioned me back to the Texas League for the 1970 season.
The Florida State League was considered the top A-league back then. You played in the spring training parks of major league teams, traveled throughout some great cities in Florida, and the pay was the best in A-ball.
Class has a sense of humor. It knows that a good laugh is the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations. Class never makes excuses. It takes its lumps and learns from past mistakes. Class bespeaks an aristocracy unrelated to ancestors or money. Some extremely wealthy people have no class at all, while others who are struggling to make ends meet are loaded with it. Class is real. You can't fake it. Class never tries to build itself up by tearing others down. Class is already up and need not attempt to look better by making others look worse. Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class because he is comfortable with himself. If you have class, you've got it made. If you don't have class, no matter what else you have, it won't make up for it.

I shall call the class, Heaven
'A class is not just a class
A class is like a temple.'
'Such as the God lives in temple
Same way the students lives in the class
Both are with the shiny face and broad smile.'
'A class is like a flower
That blooms with the light of the students.'
'A class is like a nursery
In which every type of flower planted.'
'In this way the class is a heaven
If we see it with our soul eyes
If we feel it
then we will find us
In the presence of God
And that is our respected Teachers.'

My class
My class is a funny class
When the teacher is not in
Our class is a circus
That will conquer the school
We have acrobats
We have clowns
and we even have elephants
My class is a noisy class
When the teacher is not in
Our class is a market
That will conquer the school
We have hawkers
We have fruiterers
and we even have butchers
No matter what
A circus or a market
We enjoy our class
When the teacher is not in

That Girl Will Never Be Mine
That girl will never be mine
First time I saw her at the front door
That girl, her face on every billboard
Hands down, you wont believe the way she laid her eyes on me
Six feet, I spot her from the cat walk
So far we got into a small talk
Too bad she had to move along
One smile and she was gone
Cant explain
I never thought that I was gonna lose my head
Call me insane
Theres got to be a way
How can I get next to her
Now tell me how its gonna be done
Will I win or lose this one?
(dont care about the fact that)
Shes in a different league
They say its no use that I try
That girl will never be mine
Next thing shes livin in my tv
That girl, stealin every daydream
Tough luck, she had to be a star when Im just same old me
But last night, I ran into her briefly
Guess what, she really wanna see me
They said that I was out of line
Whos wrong, whos right this time?
Cant explain
I never thought that I was gonna lose my head
Call me insane
Theres got to be a way
How can I get next to her
Now tell me how its gonna be done
Will I win or lose this one?
(dont care about the fact that)
Shes in a different league
They say its no use that I try
That girl will never be mine
That girl is freakin me out
Dont care about the fact that shes all that
That girl has blown out the doubt
Theres no way for me to stop
That girl tearin up the big screen
That girl stealin every daydream
Tough luck, she had to be the one for me
She will be mine
No matter what they try to say
Theres got to be a way
I wanna get next to her
Now tell me how its gonna be done
Will I win or lose this one?
(dont care about the fact that)
Shes in a different league
They say its no use that I try

Can't Lose What You Never Had
Baby you're so beautiful
And when I'm near you I can't breathe
A girl like you gets what she wants
When she wants it
You're so out of my league
Out of my league
I show you no emotion
Don't let you see what you're doin' to me
Don't let you see it

That Girl
That girl will never be mine
Oh
First time, I saw her at the front door
That girl, her face on every billboard
Hands down
You wont believe the way she laid her eyes on me
Six feet, strut up from the catwalk
So fly, we got into a small talk
Too bad, she had to move along
One smile and she was gone
Cant explain
I never thought that I was gonna lose my head
Call me insane
Theres got to be a way
How can I get next to her
Now tell e how its gonna be done
Will I win or lose this one
Dont care about the fact that

When I was 14, I played in a summer league. One night the chief umpire asked me if I would like to try umpiring. There was a Little League tournament coming up and he needed more umpires than he had.
Women's League Day Care Center
My early lessons taught,
Were delivered...
At the Women's League Day Care Center,
In Hartford, Connecticut.
I had to have been all of two,
Or maybe 3 years old...
When I first began the beginning,
Of an aware consciousness.
I though my mother was giving me away!
And I was quick to show everyone,
Within listening distance...
I didn't like it at all!
I remember Mrs. Hines!
And the wrought iron encased stairsteps,
To the dismal West Avon Street joint.
Right off of Main Street.
A stone's throw...
From Bellevue Square.
A tenement project,
I loved and hated equally.
OH!
I forgot.
This is a poem.
Not a Declaration of Independence.
Well,
Anyway...
The Women's League Daycare Center,
Was extremely significant in my growth process.
I didn't realize it,
Until I was well into my 20's...
What a gift, my sister Mimmie and I, were given.
Gee...
That was back in either 1949 or '50!
And Mim and her husband AL,
Are GRANDPARENTS.
You know...
My mother 'always' told us,
God works in mysterious ways.
And to this day,
I'd like to know...
How my niece, Shayla
And my nephew, Landry...
My sisters Tammy and Lisa,
Get to be...
So much 'older' than me?
Do we 'not' share the same genes?
OH!
This could go on and on.
I feel it!
Dedicated:
To the Women's League Day Care Center,
a name I knew it as for 'many' years.
Located in Hartford, Connecticut.
'Probably the first day care center established,
in the country. Who knows? I'm a writer/poet...
not an historian.
Although, I'm beginning to feel like a dinosaur.
A youthful one, I might add.'

The contracts are structured different than athletes in America, but for me, it was good to move on and go back to playing in the premiere league, which is the best league. It was disappointing, as far as the team goes, but for me, there wasn't much I could do.

Look, there is a sort of old view about class which is a very simplistic view that we have got the working class, the middle class and the upper class, I think it is more complicated than that.
