Basketball Poem
Invented in the 1890's
A sport I played as a youth
Now I've got
the
Brooklyn Nets on T.V.
Can one be a poet and a sports fan?
The answer of course is yes!
There have been many terrific poems
written about athletes
City dreams are hoop dreams
CITY DREAMS ARE HOOP DREAMS
Maybe at 63
I can still dribble and make a basket
Die on the basketball court!
Not a bad way to go!
