If all the omens were favorable, Then Lorny's spirits were high. He soon developed a set routine In dressing before a game No matter where or how or when The order was always the same. His socks he'd put on first, His shoes then he'd don, His jersey next, and then knee pads, His pant8 were last to go on. One night, before the biggest game, The coaches watch was slow. Before he finished his keying speech, They heard the whistle blow. The team jumped up and with a dash They rushed out on the floor. When from the crowd there suddenly came A thunderous ear-splitting roar. With wave and bow proud Captain Miller Gave a startled downward glance, Then made the door in nothing flat For Lorny forgot his pants! 1(I1(11)I1(I))I1(|1(1 A Real Thrill Last night I held a little hand So dainty and so sweet; I thought ray heart would surely fox 6 elk So wildly it did beat.

None , said his father, decisively Then how about swimming ?
