The Song of the Turtle
(Ode to Ernie)
A tribute to Ernie Harwell,
Detroit Tigers Hall of Fame Announcer
Ernie Harwell with Nick Pontikis in the
Tigers dugout
September 27, 1999 - Final Game at Tiger Stadium
The Song of the Turtle is a parody written as a
labor
of love by Nick Pontikis on Christmas Eve, 1990
Please forgive
me, Mr. Monaghan, but that's the nature of satire.
Besides, what the hell were you thinking when you fired Ernie?
