Yogi Berra Style
As I headed for the store
She had added comments on her list
To help me with this chore
A note by an item on her list
Really made me smile
She'd written “If they don’t have it, don’t get it”
In true Yogi Berra style
“If they don’t have it, don’t get it”
Like Yogi himself would say
Meaning "Don't go elsewhere for it,
We'll get it another day"
Yogi, the great Yankee’s catcher
Who's in the Baseball Hall of Fame
Maybe more famous for his malaprops
Than the way he played the game
Many of these “yogi-isms”
Were made by others in Yogi's stead
Yogi himself once declared
"I never said half the things I said"
A well-known one of Yogi's
His logic can’t be doubted
“People don’t go there anymore
Because it gets too crowded”
I think of all his quotes
My favorite one endures
“If you don’t go to their funeral
They won’t come to yours”
Let’s close with a Yogi saying
In a baseball game
To an opposing batter
Making a religious claim
Batter drew a cross in the dirt
Invoking The Lord's name
As Yogi kicked dirt over the cross
