Poem
I took a shortcut through the basketball court to get to the airport But I started running up and down on the basketball court I picked up a ball from behind the goal post And join the boys on the court I didn’t care about the rules and wasn’t concern if I looked like a fool All I wanted was to get my ball through the net I made several attempts to score a goal but the ball dances on the ring and roll on the ground Something strange was happening on the basket court Everyone was shooting but no one was scoring The ball kept hitting the ring but it was not going in I examined the basket closely and found that it was not aligned properly So I called the guy beside and shared this interesting story He nodded his head and agreed with me I tried again but it was the same, the ball kept jumping up and down the ring Something prompted me to change the ball and I was appalled The first throw I made landed in the basket Since then I kept scoring and my adrenalin kept pouring The guy beside shouted from the back of his throat, “Different ball same rule” The ball was going through The ball was the problem and I was blossoming again Another guy took the abandon ball but he could not score at all He kept running up and down the court with his hand on his mouth I wanted to shout and complete with a knock out How many games I could have won? How many trophies I could have land If I had known the secret plan The soccer match The baseball game The football match The tennis match The volleyball game The golf tournament And all the balls have broken the protocols Different ball same game Different rules same game I have won the match again
