Humbugardy: Literary Baseball for 300

by Score Bard

This is Humbugardy. I'm your host, Alex Scorebard.

 

This poet was referring to men with brooms, not bats, when he innocently sang, "down a green plain leaping, laughing, they run".

Note: Using the web to search is cheating...you gotta know (or guess) off the top of your head.

Frost is a better guess, but that's wrong, too.

If it is illegal to search the web, is using other reference sources okay?

(Who is Walt Whitman?)
