I was running down the courts in my baggy shorts
Running to get to my game but I was in bad pain.
I tripped over a bin and hurt my shin,
I was in the St Johns basketball team; some of those other players were very mean!
Mr J and Matt Nash all thought we could smash.
Then the umpire called time and our team was behind.
Then he called in lets begin.
Georgia Barnes had the ball in her palms,
Then she passed the ball to me because she hurt her knee.
I looked at the clock then gave it a shoot……SHOOT 54321 we won!
