LITTLE GIRL THAT COULD



The Little girl that could
5'4" full height she stood
You want to play volleyball?
I can play really tall
First year she was most improved
Up to team Captain she moved
only position she could play setter
But no one on the team could do it better
Second year it was the same thing
Not an inch taller did the year bring
Your not tall enough for varsity
Too small to play what a pity
As a Senior sat on the end of the bench
She had not grown one inch
Highly rated the team was losing
Still on the bench not a position choosing
The coach said, "Go in and serve"
Hit the ball across the net did it swerve.
Nine straight times her team got a point
Players around her began to shake the joint
Season over they are now fourth in State
Maybe coach you started playing her too late

With her playing won three in a row
Today the team finished fourth in State.
Last four points my little Angel. I think
back to games she did not play. Lost one
game in state play. Only game she did not
get in the game. Around her neck she is wearing
the sportsman award. Referees voted her the
best player on the court. Too bad her own
coaches could see the little girl who could
Good going Kelz---bring home the trophy. Oh,
and first time your school has won a volleyball
trophy and you served the last four winning points.
