A Moose Track
******Here's the deal. I had to write an ode for writing class at school, and I wrote one to Money. Thought I would post it here.******
Dribbling effortlessly down the court
Shooting
Turnaround jump shots perplex opponents
As he puts his best skill to use.
Dunking,
Soaring through the lane to posterize the helpless defender
Passing,
Racking up assists and leading his team to victory,
Defending,
Leaving the offense clueless as to how to beat him.
He makes all elements of the game look easy
A six foot six inch giant
Standing tall and proud
Dark brown skin
With number 23 on his back
He shakes off opponents
Left and right
Like leaves from a tree
He lifts up a team
A league
A city
The greatest basketball player
The world has ever known
He had incredible amounts of skill,
And he was known as one of the hardest workers in the NBA.
Winning championships,
MVP awards,
Defensive awards.
A man who will never be forgotten,
And forever will be
A basketball legend.
Michael Jordan.
