Spring Break of '98

gave plenty of time

to work, to relax,

to play basketball.

Never being good, I made a bet.

First to make five free throws

in a row

gets $100.

ok, ok,

$1 more or less.

Made my first, my second,

my third went in.

Number four, number five,

in a row, makes me a winner.

I won! I can't believe it, but I won!

Too bad my brother has no money.

Never did,

probably never will.

Why bother betting with him?
