This is it, time for a change of pace and scenery,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than an hour was spent indoors glued in front of the\nTV,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time to get the bodies poppin\u2019, get the vitamin D fix in\nwhile the sun is still shinin\u2019,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018How \u2018bout a game, y\u2019all?\u2019 Get the competitive juices flowin\u2019,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Found a ball in the living room, a game of volleyball was\nunanimously voted,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was tame at first but slid into anarchy quicker than one can\nscream \u2018Brexit\u2019,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Five participants, game played two-on-two and first to five\ngoals,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fifth served as the referee, waiting patiently til it\nwas time to change roles,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019re the oldest of the bunch, entered the arena with your\nso-called rep on the line,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCan\u2019t let \u2018em beat me,\u201d says you, \u201cI\u2019m the best and fairest\nthis game is all mine,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You went in hard and ready, eyes blazed like a predator,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throwin\u2019 your weight around, beating your chest like a\nsilverback gorilla,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Point after point scored but it was all in good fun,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intensity cranked to the max but ain\u2019t no beef started\nbetween anyone,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All had their time in the sun but you were determined to\nsnag MVP,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gotta serve these young cats notice that alpha status ain\u2019t\nfor free,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ball\u2019s served by the opposition, time to blow this ball to\nKingdom Come, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Swatted it hard, sent it over the fence in your quest to be\nthe special one,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So much for mad flexin\u2019, now the game\u2019s suddenly halted,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ball\u2019s lost and you\u2019re the clown that belted it, now it\u2019s\nyour job to go retrieve it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pulled Pops away from conversation with Unc like you wanna drag\nhim to the Principal\u2019s office,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can\u2019t go out in public unless a responsible adult\u2019s around\nfor supervisin\u2019,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ran towards that ball, it\u2019s on the grass just past the\npavement,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bent over to pick it up while your cousins are shouting at\nyou to return it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Youthful exuberance overcame common sense, combined with ego\nit can lead to silly consequences,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuck throwing it back the right way, gotta hot dog it like a\ncircus performer,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tried to throw between the legs like Nick Kyrgios returning\nserve,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Missed the target, slotted it into the neighbor\u2019s yard with\nno one home to return it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now you\u2019re blushing, cursing your idiocy, your cousins\nrightfully berating you furiously,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pops shaking his head wondering how his kid\u2019s capable of\nsuch lunacy, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Standing there like a fool pantsed in the school ground in\nfront of everyone,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The top dog is gone and in its place stands the king of the\nchumps,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was fun while it lasted, because of you it\u2019s prematurely\nended,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scurry back into your hole, fool, cuz ya done played yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
