The world  is in a basket

Basketball Limerick

A basket ball player with bounce
Said, “All my opponents I'll trounce.”
But thanks to a gale
He fell on his tail,
And off in a huff he'd to flounce!

a gabion if only the little girl knew
she'll be julius caesar and no baguette in her basket
only stones to distract the picnic of dreams long gone

Trump Ding a Ling Who Is King

While we are old and spindling;
Trump did become a ding a ling
He set the pace, 
For a basket case
Thinks of all is master and king.

Love In a Basket

she put my love with care
in an old wooden basket
when she wants to eat
only rotten ones she gets
“I have taste for it’, 
she  tells me in tears

Between Fantasy and Dream

Future's hand
brandishes a sword
for what felt like heaven
my path to hell
and the only spin
my toppling head
into the basket
of just deserts.

Premium Member In Ironic Drape, Ropes Hang

hard against the wall
the seat of death finally rests
in ironic drape, ropes hang
wicker basket waits
a twist, a turn, beheaded
mans inhumanity dealt

Premium Member Bearing No Longet Fruit-

The Golden Basket once filled with fruit now empty
As my heart, mind, soul and stomach voids desolate~

People are trying to sleep
Yet I awakened to see
My bed in a heap
And a basket
Dare I go on now
Inbetwixed guile
And next to me an atm explodes

Feels herself falling to pieces
In a basket collects the shattered fragments
Fears she’s losing the battle

Premium Member Basket Ball

To excel at the game basketball
It helps if you are incredibly tall
Two points you can get
By dropping the ball in the net
Without making much effort at all
