LITTLE BROWN JUG It was football season, a crisp autumn day When I was born in Sebring-a lump of clay. Suddenly there was a commotion, And someone said, I make a motion .' Another one said, Let's make a mug . Oh, I know-a little brown jug. We'll be Tri-county champsg it's in the bag. Let the jug be a trophy just for a gag. I was poked and patted and molded into shape Then colored and put into an oven to bake. They came and got me for Sebring's big day, But something happened-things went Board- man's way. They won the game and the championship too. That meant they got me, all shiny and new. With other trophies I was put into a case Where I couldn't show off-there was so little space. Then a year went by, and another and another. Trophies crowded me till I thought I'd smother! Alas! they took me outg I held my breath! Have the Spartans lost? I was frightened to death. But the mystery cleared, I found another place. In a very handsome new trophy case. Sitting and watching you pass each day Made me yearn to see you at work and at play. So from my shiny shelf enclosed in glass. I jumped right down and followed a lass. Rushed down the senior corridor, with sweet- hearts on' paradeg Saw games 'n parties with no admission paid. Now I've peeked in every cornerg opened every doorg I've even visited classes in search of learning and lore. So come now, I'll usher you through these pages- Another volume of athletes and sages.
