Shall I compare myself to my king,
My humble lord Lebron,
With his 4 rings,
His Lakers jersey he dawns,
With his shot point average so high,
The world without him,
I would surely die,
His time all spent training in the gym,
His team now weak,
His Time nearly past,
He acts so meek,
I’m not sure how long I will last,
His eyes still looking towards the future,
With his son he still must nurture
Where are my old white corsets
Right next to your candy cigarettes
Hey! We didn't get today's edition of 'Grit'
It's canceled. They use bad words now like 'Guck' and 'Spit'
Oh, and I can't seem to find my orange Pez dispenser
I threw it out. They've proved that Pez causes cancer
By the way, have you seen the Sunday funnies
They're a no-go, ever since they canceled 'Pogo'
You know I've got two tickets for the Brooklyn Dodgers
Ha, ha, ha! Even Sandy Koufax is just an old codger
Then I'm going cruising in my new Studebaker
--with that benchwarmer from the Minneapolis Lakers?
Before I forget, don't throw away my bottle of royal blue ink
Ball point pens been around since '38, sister, even in pink
So you shan't think me old-fashioned, I just bought a brand-new TV!
-Yeah, a nine-inch black-and-white with vacuum tubes that smile at me
But I paid for it with five million Wheaties box tops!
That's crazy... I think I'll start collecting used lemon drops...
Freezing rain always leaves me cold
and the news from the Ukraine,
really ain't news anymore
as it's always bad and
well past the seven
day threshold.
And hey, Survivor - Season 42
airs the day after
tomorrow, and
Metta Sandiford-Artest,
formerly Metta World Peace
formerly Ron Artest, who
played with the Lakers
when they were good
is a contestant.
LAKERS
Lakers, a basketball team where fighting for honor begin.
A friend who is brave as lion extinct.
The death of a famous basketballer,
Brings rain in this sunny weather.
Everything in life,
Keeps getting sharp as knife
But their intention to win,
Is the best thing that I imagined.
Lakers is hard as stone,
But heart who’s beautiful as moon.
The faces who captured everyone’s intention,
Like diamond who shines among.
I will forever remember this game,
Because for me, this is the best thing which one on a lifetime happened.
Lakers will be my forever love,
Love who fly like a dove.
REST IN PEACE KOBE BRYANT
Everything in life,
Keeps getting hard as knife..
The death of a famous basketballer,
That once played for Los Angeles Lakers..
Tears rolls down on the face of everyone,
Kobe byrant was a favourite to everyone..
The all time record holder for Los Angeles Lakers,
He was more famous than legend of the seeker..
Kobe byrant, we yearn deeply for you
You're my favorite basketballer so true
Like a shadow you disappeared,
Despite all the fame, You vanished..
A courageous man dies ones in a life time,
We are just a debtor to death and it's not a crime
The sons of men walk in the shadow of death,
If you're still alive, give thanks for another breath...
Wade, O'Neal never hold record like Kobe byrant,
Just yesterday, you signed your death warrant
Death didn't informed us, before he took you away,
The unknown visitor never give a notice for just a day..

Mamba, you were, are, and will be a legend,
You have introduced many to the game,
we learn your extent of perseverance and, determination,
without disruption,
not easy to replicate,
yet, we try to emulate.
Remember, the story doesn't end here,
your motivation and legacy will not go in vain,
to make life good,
we must look,
into your experiences and broaden our outlook.
Mamba, you were, are, and will be a legend!!
Sunday
No working
No Cleaning
No School
Just relaxation
Not even church
Sunday is the best week of my life especially when football and basketball comes on screen .
I prefer basketball.
Lakers beat the Supersonics
Go Lakers.
Today was a great Sunday for the Packers
I bleed green and yellow they beat the Steelers
I’m a cheese head.
Aaron Rodgers a winner.
Brett Favre was and became a traitor.
Family screaming Go Lakers
Family screaming Go Pack Go
The game ends and it became my best Sunday relaxtion ever.
Leave me alone Mom’s
I’m Trying to relax.
Stop talking baby
Let me watch the game.
No women allow
Guys hang out only
Let’s go Packers Sunday and lastly lets go Lakers Sunday.
Feelin' fine
On a Sunday night, despite my
Lack of sleep
I need sleep for school tomo
I'm a crazy boy, I know!
Watchin' film
Watchin' DODGER games
And Lakers Games
With my brother and sister on red couch
T.V. night tonight!
Watchin' screen eagerly
Watchin' scary movie
Watchin' my bro's tennis match
Watchin' cartoons
Like Spongebob and....
Never mind that!
No one needs tah no dat!
C- Clasping a cool bottle with a firm iron grip.
O- Old time records play, relaxing and letting my spirtits lift,
L- Lakers game and maybe I'll take a snooze.
D- Days almost over with better seriously hit the brews.
B- Better days happen with beer.
E- Events are more lively all through the year.
E- Even rainy days are brighter with cold beers near.
R- Rarely do I enjoy anything with out a Cold Beer.
The playing starts each October in the fall.
But alas, this year there is no basketball.
Another season should have started for the NBA.
However, fans will not see their teams play.
From the Knickerbockers in New York, to the Lakers in LA,
will this competition start? Nobody can say.
As we approach winter, there is increasing doubt.
The owners have gotten together and locked the players out.
We will not see free throws or slam dunks today.
It appears there will be no playoffs in May.
With no basketball to see, where shall we go?
Perhaps a blizzard will come, and we will shovel snow.

The year 2001 was the greatest year of my life. It was when I was at the beginning of my
teenage years. The L.A. Lakers won the NBA Championship, I saw the Twin Towers being
destroyed by a damaged plane on TV in New York City, that kind of stuff. There's been a
lot of things I went through, good and bad, especially when I had to deal with the
beginning of my adolescent years. The year 2001 was also when I met this girl from another
state, and I had a real crush on her. I was even introduced to Radio Disney. I was thirteen
(13) years old. And what an awesome 2001 I had, even when I turned thirteen (13). If the world were to go back a few years, then I'd relive the beginning of my
teenage years.
