The Basketball Player's Prayer
Oh Lord, please let me hit a shot so well that even I, when telling of it afterwards, Will never need to lie. Make my passes straight and true, my lay-in swift and firm, And help me with a rebound that makes the opposition squirm. Protect me from the technical, Assist me in the key, endow me with a blazing speed for all the world to see. Above all Lord, this pleasure is a thing I'd like to share, so when you grant my wish, be sure my friends are there.
