When you really need a wimpy
You get one. It was our mantra
Those many nights awaiting
Delivery of the Racing Form
To the newsstand on Diversey
Even as we called a longshot
Like Greystone Park a whale
Or how a consistent winner like
Doctor Morrie Weiss was called
A woolly mammoth with payoffs
That could feed an entire village
Albeit at even money or less.
But a wimpy? You will get one
When you need one. Period.
