Mutiny in Brooklyn

The Brooklyn Dodgers got the razzberry last week. Reason: they were six full games ahead of their nearest rival in the National League. Spokesman for the hecklers was mustachioed Dan Parker, New York Daily Mirror sports columnist, Dodger fan and leading U.S. exponent of Brooklynese. Wrote he:

I bunked into a friend of mine on Moitle Avenoo.

Dis drip wuz filled wit sadness and gives me da brusheroo.

I toined and faced him squarely in da good old Brooklyn way

And when I ast him why he wept, dese woids I hoid him say:

"Dey ain't no fun in goin' out to Ebbets Field no more.

Dem Dodgers don't do nuttin' now to get a fellow sore.

No flies bounce off deir skulls to win dem everlasting fame.

Babe Hoiman's outa, harness and de old pawk ain't da same.

"Dis team is filled with sissies wot won't guzzle rye or gin,

And never shoot an empire. All dey do is win and win.

Say--as far as I'm consoined, chum, why da good old days was sweller

When MacPhail was incrognito and da Bums wuz in da cellar."
