Twice rejected soundly as they wrench your pride from you
A blockade turning ugly but'cha gotta see it through
For one slight deviation in avoidance of a clash
You find yourself a turnip at a rutabaga bash.
Thrice rejected you persist--a slip, another hole
You slide on in behind them now you score the only goal
They thought they had you whipped
But you showed 'em what you got
And with tenacity of will you made the final shot.
