Maya Angelou on Blake's 47 point outburst

[SilliSooner]

As an MLK day fixture, we expected Maya Angelou to memorialize Blake's performance. Here's my attempt.

If Maya Angelou Poeticized Griffin's MLK Day 47 point explosion

Thanks scrybe,

Poetry fans and sports fans usually don't mix, but we'll see.

There once was a girl from Nantucket…on second thought, you're probably right. :ez-laugh:

There once was a girl from Nantucket
Where Naismith himself placed a bucket
Overhead on the wall, he did nail it
Gave her a ball, said "Shoot" but she sailed it

Naismith remarked "It's a new game I just invented"
Good thing, Cheno suicide watch prevented
"I'm going to head West with my game...
And Dorothy, if you don't come with me... a shame"
