A legend, name of Papa Bell,
from baseball’s storied past
was known for one important skill;
his feet were rather fast.
Josh Gibson said of Papa’s speed,
“This man, there is no doubt…
could flip the switch and be in bed
before the light went out.”
Now physicists have since opined
that this could not be right…
to do this thing ol’ Papa’s speed
would bypass that of light.
But I submit to you, please rest
assured this is no lark,
twas not the speed of light he passed
but, rather, that of dark.
