But then, maybe the agony of defeat isn't a bad emotion to try to get across in a poem . . . When Mrs. Stegowitz expressed interest in taking in a hockey game, Michael and Chad were skeptical. Chad was a pretty sarcastic guy sometimes. It's indoors, so she won't wear a hat. Plus I'll get her to sit in the back.
Nothing can go wrong.
I guarantee it. Sure enough, at game time, Mrs. Stegowitz was in the very last row of seats, right up against the arena scoreboard. The Jets were the superior team, but the opposing goalie was making some spectacular saves. His brilliant play was preserving a narrow 2-1 lead over the Jets. Suddenly, a lead pass found Jeremy in the clear.
