LONGSHOT

A wing and a prayer.
Adversity struck that country.
Hit, run, pitch and field, their ulterior motive.
Everything to gain and nothing to lose.

The bookies were hamstrung.
Played to their ultimate potential.
Such reasoning was their opponents had to
play them and eliminate their team.
What were they, 50-1 at the Vegas gambling casinos.

They dreamt the impossible dream.
Longshots winning, God’s gift for parlance.
It was enjoyable deciphering their
World Baseball Classic championship.
Venezuela hit miraculous paydirt by winning it all.
