The Basketball Showdown
The Basketball sores
Splash, Swish, I Score the crowd roars
Game won job is done
Next game drop 30
none can guard me what a shame
Darn They are all scared
Back at home grinding
Made 10 threes my shot is blinding
I just cannot stop
Got another swat
I jumped like an astronaut
Thump! That’s a and one
That free throw is in
Easy Spin, layup is in
That was for the win
Yes! Another win
Had a huge grin on my chin
The finals began
The first game is tough
I scored 10 but not enough
I huff that was rough
We are still in though
Next game I put on a show
We win, broke my toe
Och that hurt so bad
I was glad but also sad
Is my season done
Wish it was undone
The finals are in 2 weeks
The doctor then speaks
He says I cant play
No, I say I feel so gray
Today I stay home
I feel so alone
2 weeks pass we lose by 3
My cast is off though
I can feel the flow
My shot is now looking great
I still feel bad though
We lost the finals
The number on my jersey
shines bright number 4
I want to win more
Than I ever had before
This basketball war.
We make the finals
So many scouts are watching
This is the last game
It’s a nail biter
But I’m a fighter it’s close
To OT we go
Double OT now
I have the basketball now
have one second left
I shoot from half-court
SPLASH everyone storms the court
We are champions
I get a full ride
scholarship To Duke my dream
What a team we have
But then I woke up
What a strange dream I murmured
I wish that was real
