There are firsts in life
you should strive to do,
like saying “hello” first
or “how are you?”
Extend your hand first
and offer a smile,
making friendliness your natural style.
When relaying a compliment,
be sincere…
Let strangers know
they are welcome here!
And, since we all make mistakes
no matter how long we live,
it will serve your heart well
when you’re first to forgive.

Lawrence Irons Poem
Back in 1909
it happened one day,
baseball’s very first,
unassisted triple play,
in a game between
the Boston Pilgrims
and the Cleveland Blues;
Since it never happened before
it was front page news.
Neal Ball, the Cleveland shortstop,
caught a line-drive shot
for out number one,
but he wasn’t done;
He touched the runner at second
as he stepped off the bag,
while the runner from first
who failed to tag,
he ran down in a race
back to first base.
Neal Ball then hit a home run,
as Cleveland won the game
six to one.
