Why does no train his hair 70 grow

What makes him don the padded clothes
And shout strange numbers through his

What makes him laugh at legs a-twist,
AZ ankle sprain ana broken wrist?
What makes him weep when led away
To think he's useless for the fray?
What makes staid old spectators yell
And carry on like -? Very well
What wipes out hats and voices too,
And leaves in an ecstatc stew?
What makes the glrl who would not 30

1t is comparatively easy for a thinker
to write what he wants to say and get
It before others. for most of US can read

But many great thinker cannot give
