[Mostly Holy]

"Kangaroo Flop"

Zero points and zero mercy,
although she broke with all her heart;
Her blinkers would not let her see
her dance was doomed right from the start.

Too old to win, she lacked the power
and tried instead to get creative.
Alas, the judges merely glowered
and found her footwork unpersuasive.

Her kangaroo hop made the news,
and waves of mockery swept in.
From hopeful star to tanked reviews,
she quit the scene in pure chagrin.

Around the world the breakers wailed,
Their sport’s debut a total fail.
