Times Are Tough

You try all the while, to win it all,
Then times are tough; you take your last fall…
Could it be, once conclusions were reached,
Things weren’t exactly as preached? 
Only one is now left standing –
Taking the pressure can be so demanding.
That player can have it their own way; 
With luck and skill, one offers to play…
But the king is still king, in every sport –
Never mind your skill to retort…

Times can be tough when you are the king –
Dramatic conclusions can challengers bring!
But mostly the king doesn’t struggle too much,
Hitting homers in the clutch.
Statistics prove he’ll give it a ride;
Many hope to be on his side!
So in the end, you’ll check it all out
As an amateur without as much clout.
Determined to play the game with such love –
As a player with game, and God up above…
