Lingo
In basketball, there is a hoop
Through which an orange ball
When arcing, in a graceful loop,
May very likely fall.
A candidate, in quite a gaffe,
Mistakenly said “ring”
Instead of “hoop;” on his behalf,
Attention it did bring.
But notoriety is not
Considered as a plus
And lack of sporting lingo’s what
Makes him not one of us!
