The Final Point

She waits for the whistle
The hole on the ball facing up
For extra distance
In her stance, she still waits
Tweet, the whistle is blown
She throws the ball up in the air
Too far behind her to hit
It drops, and she waits
For the whistle to tweet once more
She must hit it this time
So this final game will be over
The score is close
23 to 22
Tweet! Blown again
The ball's in the air
And...
Wham! A blur
At once, it's on the other side
They've bumped it back over here
We do a bump,
Set,
And spike
This time they block it
A quick dive, it's saved
We spike again
It's gone to the far left corner
The girl turns around
A dangerous mistake
Boom!
She barely hits the ball
And it flies to the ceiling
It comes right back down,
All the way to the floor untouched
Bam!
It bounces a few times
Till it is still 
We stand there for a moment
Tweet!
The game is won!
