This poem is just something I had to write in class.
As I dribble down the court
I take a look around
For any hater there is
To steal for the ball

With only ten second on the clock
And 60 to 57, losing
This point is gold to
Win for the state championship

As I dribble to shoot the three
with final five second
I noticed I was guarded by
A grand, gigantic giant

He was tall as the building about 7'3"
And I was only 6'2"
Now I thought we were doomed but I wasn't finish
I went to shoot the two and get foul to tie the game

As I shoot the ball with only one second left
Everyone's eyes were on me when the ball left my hand
Now the ball was going higher and higher and then
Bam! I just got stuffed, or blocked by that 7'3" giant

As the ball bounces to the other end of the court and I can see that
The fans were disappointed and all my teammates were crying
But then a whistle was blown and
The referee said it was a goaltending

The score is 60 to 59, still losing
And I got fouled by that gigantic giant on the last play
So I get to shoot three free throw and two came from
The other coach for yelling at the referee

Now I was feeling hot
So I thought I will make these shot
But when I was standing on the line
I wasn't feeling so fine

I shot the first shot and
AIR BALL !!!
The second shot the ball
Swish through the basket

The pressure is on now
This is do or die situation
Now the ball is out
Of my hand and in the air

Ball jumped off the rim and it came down and swirl
Around the rim and when it was coming out of the basket
Magically it went through the basket and we won the game
And we end our season with pure perfection of 20-0
