THE BIG DANCE

THE BIG DANCE

Roger A. Davis

March Madness is one description
Brackets filled out like non-fiction
Yet, only a few will be true stories
Yes, this year, for one head coach and his boys

The dance is Basketball Ballet
At major cities where 64 teams will play
Spin and fly through the air
The ball and the player in pair

After Thursday through Sunday, it is a time of wean
Because those left are called the Sweet Sixteen
Winners of the next games, this is their fate
They are called the Elite Eight

By this time, there may be a Cinderella Team
An underdog living their dream
Yet, this is not usually the case
With one and two seeds setting a grueling pace

The Region Finals next for those with the highest score
Move on to the Alamo for the Final Four
Four number one seeds made it to the ballroom floor
UCLA, UNC, KU AND MEMPHIS, the teams that will arrive
Who is your pick to be the one to survive?
