BLACK ATTACK
January 6 2000
 
 Not knowing what to write
 I sit at my desk and think
 An idea will sound right
  But the words just won't link
 
 I've come up with a thought
 So write it I will try
 Before it comes to naught
  Before the ink runs dry
 
 Thursday, what a night
 Am I up for the task?
 Isn't it a strange sight?
  Me reffing the women of CASC
 
 Readers, I promise to be true
 And that I will do now
 This will be a who's who
  With the names that space allows
 
 Many of you are wondering
 Is this just a ruse?
 Am I plundering and blundering?
  Am I trying to confuse?
 
 The answer is no, never
 That never crossed my mind
 How can I ever
  Go into anything blind?
 
 What you're gonna read
 Is a story condensed
 A story of greed
  A story with no sense
 
 Today it is the Black Team
 With my feelings they like to fiddle
 Though to me they seem
  To be an enigma wrapped in a riddle
 
 Vengeful Vangie, queen of quiet
 Demure Demitra, equals riot
 Pristine Christine, she who screams
  So Blue Sue, Mrs. Daydream
 
 No, that is too mean
 It'll get me in trouble
 And I cannot afford to be seen
 As being close to the bubble
 
 Games won, matches lost
 Egos grown, tempers tossed
 Success, forever in season
 For failure, always a reason
 
 What of Christine Landry?
 She puts me in a quandary
 Do I dare be nice?
 Or honest and concise
 
 Nacos, Pristine Christine now
 The franchise player, and how
 Scouring left, darting right
 Artistry deft, out of sight
 
 "You're right, it's all about me
 My talent is there for all to see
  I don't care about the rest
 It is I, Nakos who is best" 
 
 "What, are you kidding?
 I'm the best, I 'm the game
  And after I do the bidding
 You'll all remember my name"
 
 Thus spake Demitra Demure
 What she meant I am not sure
  But one thing is certain
 For her they'll raise the curtain
 
 "You're both out to lunch
 You're both out to sea
  You see, I've got this hunch
 That the best is me. Me"
 
 "Me, me", Vengeful Vangie spoke
 Inflaming tempers even more
 She's got power, she's got stroke
 Vangie is confident to the core
 
 I stare at the ceiling
 Linking lines to dots
 I have this strange feeling
 There is someone I forgot
 
 I've mentioned them all
 Or at least, most, I think
 Save for a lady not so tall
 With a name that makes me blink
 
 How do you say that name?
  She didn't want to tell me
 Pronouncing was never the same
 When she said "A-Ari-Arianthi"
 
 "I have a nice name, don't I?"
  Arianthi said with a grin so sly
 "But for something you don't see
 You always call a penalty on me?"
 
 "My team isn't really so bad
  Though we do act that way
 I, Arianthi, won't make you sad
 But I do have something to say"
 
 "Give us a break
 And try to be nice
 Know what's at stake
 When we roll the dice"
 
 "You've forgotten about Sue
  Nellie and Desiree as well
 And what is Catherine to do
 With your writing gone to hell"
 
 "And please remember one thing
 Our scores we will settle
 So bring your guts to the ring
 Because we love to test your mettle"
 
 That's the story of Team Black
 Readers won't like it is my bet
 So if you want to go on the attack
