In a town not too far away,
There was a game on display,
A spectacle for all to see,
The young ones cheered with glee.

It was a clash of two teams,
One was strong, the other in dreams,
The underdog, they had heart,
They knew they had to play their part.

The ball was in the air,
Ready for someone to dare,
An interception was made,
The underdogs now had a chance to invade.

The crowd went wild with cheer,
As the underdogs drew near,
The civic pride was on the line,
And everyone felt just fine.

The dynasty was in trouble,
Their lead began to crumble,
The underdogs fought with all their might,
They wouldn't go down without a fight.

The festivity was in the air,
As the underdogs scored, the crowd did not care,
The root of the game was love,
And everyone felt it, from below to above.

The underdogs had trounced,
The dynasty had been announced,
But in the end, they would merge,
And the game would always surge.

So kids, remember this tale,
And let it inspire you to prevail,
No matter what the odds may be,
Believe in yourself and set yourself free.
