Volleyball

E.A. England

set it up to spike it down
dig it, then repeat
blockers up and coverage close
talk loud and move your feet

give it everything you have
don’t just play the game
strive to beat the other teams
make them fear your name

points rack up and tension builds
we all know what’s at stake
skill and heart and desire to win
aren’t things that you can fake

some are short and some are tall
we come in different sizes
that doesn’t change the way that we
wear our floor burns like prizes

any game that we must play
with worthy competition
we face the team across the net
with courage and ambition

if every person does their best
and gives it what they can
work has a knack for paying off
and winning is the plan

so dig it up and load it up
send it back once more
aiming for a certain spot,
a place to hit the floor

shifting, diving, calling out,
don’t be afraid to fall
it’s this sport that you should try
we call it volleyball

About three or more times a week I play volleyball with my club team. I play middle blocker/ hitter. It’s always fun to watch everyone get better. Comment below what sports you play

Board Game Banter

Shoulda seen that comin’.
Shoulda thought that through.
Coulda gained a point.
Coulda beaten you
Had I put that there,
Had I picked another;
If you’d rolled a seven,
If I’d played the other.
Woulda made a difference.
Woulda had a chance.
Wanna play again?
Almost wet my pants
When you rolled that nine,
When you moved the robber.
Next time I’ll be ready.
Next time I’ll clobber
You and your momma.
You and what army?
Save it for the book.
Save feathers, and tar me!
This time I’ll try.
This time you’ll wish
We had stuck to cards-
Played ‘Spades’ or ‘Go Fish.’

Last weekend I played a game of Clue with two of my brothers. Of course I chose Mrs. Scarlet. At the beginning, I got lucky and found out that it was colonel Mustard in the ballroom. However, I didn’t know what the weapon was, and by the end of the game I realized that it was the rope. So did my brother, and it was a race to get to the pool and guess, but with a big roll of 11, I beat him to it. Taking the win with “Colonel Mustard, in the Ballroom, with the Rope”. It was a good game. Comment below what your favorite board game is.
