Basketball players are there for the game./They jump and shoot it for every point./Each player is looking for pride and fame./Ev'ry single fan is rocking the joint.//Coaches make up the play for their offense./They execute the play so perfectly./The fans are still in their seats feeling tense./The home team played very effectively.//The game was tied at seventy three all./The fourth quarter was coming to a close./Home team players on the court had the ball./Nobody in the arena had dozed.//As time expired, the last shot was made./They won, were champs, and had a big parade.//

You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)

Hello pboyle44 is it okay for me to take a line out of your sonnet and reference it into a paper of mine. It is just for one line. I do like your poetry writing.
