IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN Pa sent Polly off to school Feeling fit and gay He thought she was a Wonder On that eventful day. He was sure that sheld make every team And he really cried because She didn't make a single one And here,s just how it Was: She tried her hand at tennis- It really wasn't fair- Sheid miss that flying ball And hit the derned old air. The hockey games came next She looked so trim and neat In her new pair of knickers And her well protected feet. Her stick, it came from England Her knee pad came from here She sure was set to make that team And Win a hearty cheer. The team was picked The day was done And Polly was in tears She didn't make the hockey team Her blasted hopes and fears. lrVhen basketball came around It was the same old story She couldn't shoot a basket And so she Won no glory. If you are one of Polly's kind And canit Win out somehow Be sure to keep on trying And don't give up just now. So here's to the girls who couldn't And tried to just the same Who helped the others practice -They also played the game. 41
