Hard cushioned seats
Shouts an jokes being made
Conversations going on
Intensity in the air
The wait kills everyone
As the time comes for victory
without a story
All worth the wait
Victory being our fate
Bumps heavy from the bus's behind
A game-plan in mind
Iso's an dives mainly
In our heads we think insanely
Silence as arrival comes soon
Not one word spoken ,headphones playing a tune
Just thought an music
Lights come on
It's time to play
Winning all the way
An then the unexpectable
We loss the game
But it goes down in the books
Nobodies head was hung in shame
This is my ode to the game
