Basketball
By Patrick Michael Cassidy
As I dribble down the court
I hear the whistle blow
The ref yells out two shots
And sends me for a free throw
I make my first shot it goes down with a swish
But for my second shot I could only wish
I really want to make it
Go ahead and save the game
But instead I air-balled and felt really lame
Coach called a time out and said I want the ball
Steal it on the throw in and we will win it all
The center throws the ball in and our player jumps in front
He throws his little hands up and the ball goes bump
It’s in the air now and it is right where I can see
So I jump as high as I can and it lands right on me
I dribble to the three point line, stopped and popped a shot
But next thing that I knew it bounced right out
The teams scrambled for a rebound we’re still trailing them by three
But out of nowhere our team grabs the ball and throws it back out to me
I try to take the three again and this time it’s a swish
I never could have done it without our team’s dish
My coach said I saved the game with my Hail Mary shot
He jumped up and down and celebrated quite a lot
We’re going to the championship
Hooray Yee hah Yippee
We never could have done it without Patrick Cassidy
