He should switch, he'd never get rich, he made others twitch, he'd get jock-itch, there was always a glitch and many thought that the hitch was because he was under the spell of a witch. But Joe had foreverbearance. Most people thought he should play hockey and be satisfied being a Toronto Maple Leaf instead. Afterall he'd be in good company waiting for a Stanley Cup win since 1967!
