Premium MemberWrong Rim Basket

    His proprioceptors on fire
    Johnny jumps higher and higher
       His hand scrapes the rim
       He dunks the ball in
     Wrong rim, Johnny, howls the umpire


Premium MemberPennsylvania's Governor's Economic Forecast

      Since when did governors offer advice
      on the NBA draft, teams just roll the dice

         Josh Shapiro told ‘his team’ 
         Ace Bailey’s low self-esteem 

      Pick him and tickets will go for half-price

      Notes: NBA = National Basketball Association
                 Mr. Shapiro is the Governor of Pennsylvania
                 His team - the team he cheers for - is the Philadelphia 76ers
                 Ace Bailey is a good collegiate player with 'issues'

Premium MemberBasketball Picks

Untimely was Hamilton Hicks
In making his basketball picks.
He knew it all well,
How each bracket fell,
But always too late with his clicks.

Premium Membertime for the bench

In debate a gallop called Gish
Scored points like a basketball's swish
That Joe could not block!
So now taking stock
Biden's sideline walk is our wish

DT's sick slick lies and his bunk
Were passed past the player who stunk
Since Donald can trick
Let's set a quick pick
For a super sub who can dunk

Premium MemberA Basketball Tale

Basketball tip off at grade school game
My biggest lifetime shot at fame
Got the ball and took off
Heard the yells from aloft
Wrong way I went but good my aim


Premium MemberLocal Draft Choice

Once lived an energetic lad in Montreal He was rather large, I would say, seven feet tall Tough as old shoe leather He did not care whether He played with varsity team basketball, at all.

Premium MemberA Tail Like a Fish

Too-tall Jackson had a tail like a fish 
But when he swam his gym shoes went squish-squish
   He took up basketball
   That was sure the right call
Happy end to his tale ~ A perfect swish!

Premium MemberLife With Trump I

It's bullies Melania fights
The big one is now in her sights
If Donald should stray
His schlong she will flay
And not even give him last rites

Premium MemberHawkers

Hyperbole is a sports cast
Announcers have egos so vast
My ears must have rest
From this lambasting pest
Collection of morons amassed
