Libero Poem

[NewEnglandRT]

This guy who plays Yankee is always coming up with creative ways to ask for players on his teams, or to describe his own abilities when trying to get on a team for the weekend. Here's his most recent request for a libero.

calling all defensive players

...and anybody who ate too much and can't jump.

A friend of mine needs a libero for the MB on sunday.

Do display the need for a player, i will quote Dr. Seuss from his book "Mean Digs and Hands"

It does not matter if you're tall or small
It has nothing to do with size at all
You don't have to have a 3 foot bound
Just keep the ball from hitting the ground

Wearing a different colored shirt than the rest
With a 4 inch number tattooed on your chest
You won't have to swing, you'll be playing back row
In place of the middles, too dumb and too slow

Not offensive like Slocum, defensive you'll be
You'll be digging, and passing, and yelling "Candy!"
You have our faith we know you won't fail
But first send a text message, phone call, or email

Thank you.

I'll admit, I was one of the twelve and didn't respond! It was a really cute poem!

Very creative. Although as a new middle I am offended.

"You won't have to swing, you'll be playing back row
In place of the middles, too dumb and too slow"

I'm not dumb and I'm only pretty slow although I have 'surprisingly good range'. LOL

I'm not dumb

Subjective

I'm only pretty slow

You're just slow, Pretty.

'surprisingly good range'

Flailing monkey arms doesn't constitute range.
