A Little Basketball
I watched a little basketball
To cheer the U.S.A.,
Though it’s a sport I’d never follow
Any other day.
I also caught some swimmers
Wit their strokes in perfect form,
Racing in their lanes in record time,
As if that were the norm.
Now I’m waiting for the gymnasts,
With their super-human feats,
Hoping when the golds are given,
There might be a few repeats.
The Olympics gives us glimpses
Into how, when one’s obsessed,
That results in a performance
Leaving everyone impressed.
