Ode to Basketball

It’s crazy how one orange ball can take your life
It’s almost as if it’s my wife
I work hard all day so I can be
Great, if my body let’s me
I take it everywhere as one may see
Dribbling hard so my arms sting like a bee

The NBA is my goal
It’s not to win the superbowl
This game is in my blood and soul
Without it I would not feel whole
That’s why I have great ball control
I get invited to elite camps and play for my high school team
I am supreme
I will not stop until I make it
Unless there is a time where I see fit

This ball makes me who I am
All of a sudden, BAM!
This crossover is ham
The only thing that can stop it is a battering ram
