                         73



Seventy three is a timorous age
unlike seventy-four
surer now of making eighty
pacing onward to a hundred or more
one run at a time there being no point
in aging prematurely
no need for a six
no need for a homer
no need for twos or threes
no need for antics
to get a run home
no need for a bunt
a jogged along
single
will do
