A Curry T'd Up is a Curry T'd Off (Unpub)

     On the 21st of October, 2017, during a losing effort
against the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies, the Golden State 
Warriors' Steph Curry gets ejected from the game after 
his overreaction to being t'd up -- i.e., called by the ref
for a technical foul.  
 
‘Tis sad how hoops lives not up to its promise.
Its bones stand tall; its skin, withal, shows squamous --
as notes below the Welshman Dylan Thomas:
 
“The force that through the green fuse drives the flower…”:
Was not such pressure loosen’d to empower
the ref who of Steph urged an early shower…?
 
Scott Wall, said ref, ain’t black, nor Steph’s not white.
Still, notwithstanding same, was Curry right
to “not go gentle into that good night”…?
 
Who’s quick to say, “That’s round ball nowadays”
would skirt these issues which the NBA’s
official rules – nor Dalton’s law! – won’t raise.
