Song skirmish group prompt "Hat Trick". Still not thrilled with the music on this however I posted since there is only one day left in this weeks challenge.

I’m usually picked near last I have short legs I can’t run fast I love playing sports but my fair weather nerd friends ditch me Softball I’m a catcher, touch football the only way I get the ball is by interception Basketball I take long shots on the perimeter, volleyball I can’t jump high enough to spike I have no bag of tricks Monday coach Jago says “today we’re playing field hockey” In the field past the monkey bars by the rusty backstop I played hockey on roller skates in Reynoldsville Pennsylvania I’ve got a skill these Florida kids don’t, I know how to handle a stick I sweat, intercept a long pass, carry the puck for the sandy goal Coach Jago smiles and yells “look at Getch, he’s a regular Bobby Orr” Tuesday I shoot and score, Wednesday I get picked Based on my one trick Thursday it rains we play in the gym with orange plastic pucks, red and blue flat sticks Pounding on the metal roof echoes off purple walls in the Panther Pit School alma mater painted black and white letters Coach Jago sits and watches from the stage Reads the News Press pretending to check grades Ignores our yelling hormone charges under the shadow of retractable stands ducking wildman Roy’s high sticks, I get my first hat trick
