Victory

I hear the sound 

Dribble dribble pound

My offender drives in

I steal the ball and make a spin

Hopefully I do not fall 

Dribbling up the court I make the final call 

The game tied, I decided not to stall 

Focused on the game, not on the gym

Crossing over and attacking toward the rim 

My defender trips, on the ground is where he landed 

As going passed him, I smelt something rancid  

It was only the stench of the rubber blend

Approaching the lane, they begin to defend

I through up a shot, and it luckily went in

Laying on the ground, the ref with a grin 

Yells out foul, I go to the line 

This singular shot, could make our team shine

The shot goes in, now up by three

They can’t score but we must stand still like a tree

If we foul while they shoot, they will be rewarded 

With multiple shot so we must be sorted

Only seonds left the heave up the ball

Not even coming close but hitting the wall 

This win is sweeter than candy

Running into the lockerroom and start singing a shanty 

Victory, Victory, Victory
