Second annual OKC Thunder Valentine’s Day poetry slam

Poems for and about the OKC Thunder.

It’s Valentine’s Day, which means all of us in a relationship are doing some romantic gesture in hopes of getting lucky tonight. And all of us not in a relationship are heading to our local bar. Me? I’m writing poetry dedicated to members of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Welcome to the second annual Oklahoma City Thunder Poetry Slam.

For the MVP of the league

A force of nature

“You can’t guard me. I’m coming”

Russell Westbrook, Man

For Mr. Feathery

The smooth sultry tones

A feathery voice that is his own

Magic on the mic

REMEMBER WHEN HE ENDED DWIGHT HOWARD’S LIFE?!?!?!

For those who think Russell Westbrook can rap

Roses are Thunder up

Violets are Thunder up

We bout to Thunder up

Layin down, bout to Thunder up

For the Thunder’s best defender

So bad on one end, so good on the other

An offensive liability, but is a defensive smother

A passed up shot, an exciting block

Don’t shoot the three, just play lockdown D

Andre Roberson, the lowkey MVP

OKC

For Three

Clank

For Enes Kanter’s least-favorite chair

When I see you, I seethe with rage

I want to move on, but can’t turn the page

You crushed my heart, my dreams as well

You tore me apart, we must bid farewell

No more forgiveness, this time I swear

You ruined something so good, stupid chair

For the future of the organization

Part of a robbery, part of a theft

With his fathers genes, he has been blessed

Struggling as a rookie

more bad than goody

He’s got the ball, he’s going to his left

For the most polarizing backup point guard

Cam Payne

Answer off the bench

Moving to his right and going against the grain

Putting up bad shots with a horrible stench

All the dance moves

You have to be better

Now he’s getting in the groove

Every jumper getting wetter

For the best shooter in NBA history

You can’t spell Da Gawd

Without Alex “Da Gawd” Abrines

For the opportunity to make the team better

When will Sam Presti make a trade?

Watching this team and I’m in a rage

A butler, a rating, a dance term

Any or either, just don’t stand firm

I’ll take less, I promise I’m not picky

Just get a shooter and please do it quickly
