Leaving The Game

The batter taking drugs comes out
of the game faster than a condemned thief,
unless the thief is selling tickets,

and the batter has good stats,
the batter the fans pay to see,
and not the manager cleaning up

the needles, and not the dealer selling tickets.
The bookkeeper pilfering funds is off the job,
unless the boss is skimming, and not the girl

staying late at the office, and not the boss
dealing in girls. The pitcher placing bets
comes out of the game faster than a molester,

unless the molester owns the team,
and the manager is the bookie,
and not the pitcher selling tickets.
