Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

One Hundred Point Game

This is hard to believe, but true.
It happened back in 1962.
A basketball player scored a hundred points in a game.
It was an accomplishment worthy of much fame.
The late Wilt Chamberlain was the man's name.
His Warriors were from Philadelphia back then.
Many doubt that will ever happen again.
