Analysis of Dim Views
The crowd waits in suspence
Wanting their team to knock the ball over the fence,
only to be disappointed by it all,
When the umpire gives a bad call.
Umpires can't always be right.
Sometimes there will be a fight.
We can always take dim views,
of umpires, until we wear their shoes.
