Bill.
who? he says.
you know, short
guy
with the jump hook.
bald.
traveled all the time,
threw his elbows around,
hot temper.
he was a lawyer.
he used to play up at the court
with us for about fifteen
years.
oh yeah, that guy, Bill
says.  i can see his face,
but i can't remember his name.
hated playing with that guy.
yeah, me too.
what about that tall skinny
guy,
we called him slim,
or string bean,
something like that.
Left handed?
yeah, but couldn't go to his right.
oh yeah,
i remember him. he was
a doctor or
something.
what was his name?
beats me. he was only up
there for about
ten years.
