Picked Last

10 kids, two teams

When will they pick me?

I never get to be captain

When will they see

 

See that I’m a born leader

And that I should do the picking

But instead I wait,

Wait through all the bickering

 

Otis was picked first

Everyone could see

He’s the best ball handler

The best since Kyrie

 

Perry was picked next

He filled the lanes like thunder

And in the 1/2 court game

He’s got a killer up and under

 

The two captains kept picking

and only 4 were left

Sure enough they chose Jimmy Mac

And he can’t dribble with his left

 

Then they picked Suey

Yeah they picked a girl over me

She had a brace on her knee

She could definitely hit the 3

 

Then they took Wilbur

He’s got asthma and his inhaler

He’s not better than me

Heck, I am the player

 

And with the last pick

I was finally yes finally chosen

I was sooo upset

My eyes, Like fish sticks, frozen

 

I’d show them my best Magic

My deep three like Curry

I got the ball and dribbled on down

Showing them my dribbling McFlurry

 

Two minutes later

The score was 7 to Nill

They all looked at me

The game stood still

 

Then one captain called to me

Hey kid- I heard him call

What the heck are you doing

There is no dribbling in "FOOTBALL"
