IT HAPPENED ONE
NIGHT
(Basketball Blues)
"Twas on a bright and starry night
One Saturday ago
The All-Stars from Huachuca
Took on the 150.
It was to be a massacre
(The All-Stars' onerous plan)
They chortled loud and full of glee
Before the game began.
But the little QM Trucker team
Soon made their blood run cold
By blasting their conceited dream
And lambasting their goal.
For when the game was over
And final score was read-
The All-Stars took to cover
With ice bags on their heads.
(Note--Score: 150 QM. 31; All-Stars 29).
