The Great Experiment

• Artist: Setsuna2
• Description: *Ahem* yea, I lost a bet and now I have to put this up xD
  This was a writing assignment for my Honors English class (7th) seemingly ages ago. Augh, the assignment was to make a rap (o__O oh noes!) about Jackie Robinson. Yea, my partner was cottoncandy_828, yes we go to the same school, though I did all the vocab and the writing and everything. Yea, ended more like a poem thing rather than a rap. :P

Let me tell you about the best man
Whose job was just to implement
A great part of Mr. Ricky’s plan
As the ‘Noble Experiment’

Under the curse of Jimmy Crow,
He led a very harsh life:
To be often treated so low
And to be at constant strife.

He gallantly strode up to the base
With just a bat at hand
And to peer into that open space
Of that forsaken land.

The pitcher threw that speeding ball
As the batter held his chin up high.
That day, the ball never did fall:
For it was sent flying into the blue sky.

And his name was Jackie Robinson

Well kudos for making something about achievement out of some common class assignment. It seems to me that you have a moderate skill at this you might want to try and better your hand, and if so choose plz let me see your work in here again.

I like how it kind of shocks the reader at the end.. that it's about baseball. razz
