about Judy Garlands voice.)

Original Title

Wonderful, fantastic, stupendous poem

Belongs in these 16 -20 lines

Michael Jeffery Jordan is a fine Player

He could run for mayor
Magic Johnsons Teeth are so fine
Theyre clean enough to dine on
The Dream Team was a Monster
No one stood a chance
Im mean seriously,
they made made the other teams look like Lobsters
It also showed Mike can dance

There was so many good players

They made the world look like basketball bench warmers
They were like Hercules
No one was gonna stop em.
