Popcorn Volleyball

By JoJo Bean

My daughter had tryouts for volleyball
it was a Junior Olympic team
A high level, nerve racking game
but it’s great for her self-esteem

She practiced many hours
until the time arrived
to go to this big tournament
and show what she had inside

We arrived at the tournament center
We didn’t know what to expect
The place was the size of a blimp hanger
which lent to a special effect

As you looked out over the expanse
It was amazing what you saw
all these volleyballs dancing in air
A popcorn machine at the mall
