100 Freethrows

CATEGORY

Views: 140

I went to a local basketball court

And shot 100 freethrows, here’s my statistical report

I missed 74 of them!

Quite a few almost went in

But none of those would count

My confidence was soon replaced with doubt

But didn’t blame the wind

As the reason why my shots didn’t go in

Maybe my ball had too much air?

Perhaps the rim wasn’t level up there?

When I missed a dozen shots in a row

I was about ready to go!

As I ran down each of my own rebounds

Here’s what I found 

Whether I’d hit or miss a shot

I’d retrieve the ball and go right back to the same spot

26% from the line is wack!

I’m only half as good as Shaq!

I may never improve, but it’s good to try again and again

The odds aren’t in my favor, but at least a quarter of the time I’ll win!
