Beat Down-2013

My Team Just Got Beat-Downdraft

I hate it when your team loses games when they are supposed to win especially when I am going for certain players.  I feel sorry for Skylar Diggins.  I wish she had a National Championship.  It's sad for the seniors.  I was thinking this game would have been close.  This is my poem below and I am saying it is my down draft. I plan on revising it tomorrow, when I am over this loss.  I am extremely disappointed.  UCONN will play against the Louisville.  I am going with Louisville because they aren't supposed to be there.  No one expected this. Everyone said it would be Notre Dame and Baylor.  Louisville and Shoni Shimmel are a blast to watch and UConn will be ready.  Gino always has them ready.  I am also going with Louisville's men's team against Big Blue.  I like the story of Louisville.  Besides the fact that I like Rick Pitino, their story is great because they are playing a man down.  One of their key players broke his leg on the court last weekend. I look forward to both games.  Go Cardinals!



Team Just Got Beat-Down draft
By Maureen Ucles

I just hate it
Wasting two hours
or more
and my team
just got beat
I hate to say it
But it's true


With remote in hand
popcorn to the side
with sea salt and butter
watching my team get beat

C'mon you just missed a bunny!
Please chip in a few!
Use the backboard!
Take it to the hole!
Can't ya pass it dear?
Try some more arch on your shot
Use your legs!
She's wide, wide open
Try a three pointer!

No, no,
go on
can't you see
mid -range jumper


I'm  all in  a mood
Can't stand it at all!
Bad side of the moon
My team just can't play
It's just not their day
50/50 balls not
bouncing
bouncing
our way

Two hands on the rebound
try boxing them out!
Get wide, get wide!
Now go back door
look!
She's so open!
Pass it now!
Thread the needle!


Three seconds again?
Really? No!
Hey, ref!
She's camping out
 in the lane

The refs need their eyes
examined
Get to Lens Crafters!
Can't you see?
 The push off, the push off
With the chicken wing!
That was definitely a
charge!
Offensive in nature
She ran over her!
No block!
No way!
No how!

I've got no place to go!
My teams losing, losing
the game at hand
Can someone please
shoot the ball?
Make a basket!
Drive, drive
Pick and pop!
Tip it in!
If you can!

C'mon rebound the ball!
She over the back!
It's not supposed to be this way
He just blew the call
and gave the game away.
Are you kidding me?

My stomach is churning
My heart  is now broken
I'm beside myself
Why is losing so hard?

Please pass me the remote
I've got no control
Turn off the tube
I'll suffer you know
In silence is better
My team
my poor, poor team
Just got beat
