I don't have a Mac in front of me, but I'm pretty sure this should work.  Try
selecting the first and second lines of the paragraph before using Keep On Same
Page.  That should keep the first line from being orphaned.  (Or is it
'widowed?'  I never can remember.)  Similarly, select the last and next-to-last
lines of the paragraph before using Keep On Same Page to keep the last line
from being widowed.
