Cold Day

It was very cold outside.
I had a basketball game we tied.
I went to go eat some turkey.
I saw the pool; it was frozen and murky.

Belly ache when the basketball game had started,
I was shooting a lay up, and accidentally farted!

You First

You First

Been missed

You too keep notice

Been away why?
You to the soonest

Every moment to clap

...Once more, I am a...

Tall human you never saw

As in every basketball game i go

...Play

...Or No

Carnival

carnival -- indoors
instead of outdoors -- has a 
stifling air to it

silk wearing psychic --
mouth with an overbite -- tells
the future glibly

basketball game -- hoops
too small for tossing -- gives a
large dust-covered prize

Telling blacks not to come to a basketball game. That is such a racist remark and a shame. Making such a comment is an absurdity. In the professional basketball community, African-Americans make up the great majority. Those words said were a public disgrace. Everywhere in any professional sports place, room should be made for any color and race. from a news story found on aol.com

Don'T Turn the Ball Over

M-ake no mistake in life, 
E-ven in a basketball game; 
R-emain in the right path, 
L-ittle error can tarnish
Y-our name.

B-all is in your hands
O-ctober twenty-ninth day; 
N-either arm will violate, 
D-ribbling not in a wrong way.
A-llow not your feet to travel toward the false direction; 
D-riving hard to the goal, charging not one in motion.

B-e careful with your action, 
A-ware of every matter; 
L-et your life be righteous, 
D-on't turn the ball 
O-ver.
