Backboard

The south wind came and it blew so strong it sent my backboard where it didn't belong Busted and crooked it warped so much from the Gods of winds performing their thrust Now my basketball has no fair of play it's gone all torqued up throughout the day But the rim is still in level condition my ball maneuvers will have a pure rendition Next time I will remember to anchor things down or I will likely have a much bigger frown
